Summary/Abstract: The article deals with some important aspects of the royal iconography of the 18th Dynasty, presenting several unique, hitherto unpublished in this form polychromed relief portraits of King Thotmes III from his funerary temple at Deir el-Bahari. The style of these images may herald the style shift from the earlier representations of the King and may provide the link to the subsequent art mannerism in the times of Amenhotep III.
