Interesting that the nose appears to be partially smashed. Sometimes they did that to sort of “erase” the memory of the person.

If so, was Tut “renounced” by officialdom some time after he died?

And if so, why?

Maybe the nose was broken more recently. Could this Prince Raimondo be related to the VP of Oberlin?

The nose tends to stick out and when a statue gets tipped, it strikes the ground first. It also appears that this part of a larger bas relief sculpture was chipped out by local Egyptian thieves and sold, the damage could have happened at that time. Could also have been deliberate vandalism by some superstitious ***holes.
