Bust of Queen Nefertiti (replica)

Probably the most famous image of the ancient world: Nefertiti, the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who may have ruled jointly with her husband. We know little of her personal life, but her assured, serene portrait (vividly painted as all ancient sculptures once were) has been widely admired since its rediscovery in the early 20^th century. True to her name, ‘the beautiful one has come forth’, Nefertiti’s portrait has achieved its purpose to keep her memory alive.
