Statue of Aset, mother of Tuthmosis III, from the Temple of Amun-Ra, Karnak, New Kingdom...

Aset, mother of Tuthmosis III, was a secondary wife of Tuthmosis II. Here she is shown sitting on a throne with a base. Her hands are placed on her lap, but in her left hand she holds a lotus flower. She wears a large wig, with two cobras at the forehead; the left one wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt and the right one wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. She wears a wesekh-collar around her neck, and two large bracelets around her wrists. The base of a crown can be seen on top of her wig; it is covered in gold leaf and once held two large plumes. Reign of Tuthmosis III (1479-1425 BC)
