Portrait of Pharaoh Amasis (563-525 BC) depicts Amasis, also known as Ahmose II, pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty in Late Period Egypt. A general, he seized the throne during a revolt against King Apries. The 5th-century Greek historian Herodotus describes him as a shrewd and opportunistic ruler who promoted Greek trade with Egypt while strictly regulating it. The original granite bust from the 6th century BC is in the Archaeological Museum of Florence.
