A painted limestone head of an Osiride statue of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, who reigned circa 1479-1458 BCE during the 18th Dynasty.

It belongs to a figure of her that stood in the northeast corner of the sanctuary of Amun within her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahari.

This wonderful piece (31.3.153) is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Detail of a pigmented sandstone relief of Queen Nefertiti, consort to King Akhenaten who reigned circa 1353-1336 BCE during the 18th Dynasty. This is a fragment of a talatat, a cut stone block commonly used as a building material in the early years of the Amarna Period, a revolutionary phase when art was intentionally distorted to break from tradition.

This depiction of Nefertiti differs from her iconic bust, currently abducted in Berlin, Germany.

During this time, Nefertiti was portrayed with exaggerated, elongated features — such as slanted, narrow eyes, drooping lips, and heavy chin — to mirror the specific 'divine' physiognomy of her husband.

While the famous bust represents a later, more naturalistic elegance, this relief serves as a political and religious statement, emphasizing the Queen's probable role as a co-regent and a direct vessel for the Aten's 'breath of life.'

The 'strange' look was a way to mark her (and Akhenaten) as separate from ordinary mortals.

This piece (17064), which is 26 centimeters in total length, is now in Phoenix Ancient Art S.A., an antiquities dealer based in Geneva, Switzerland.
