Description

Object Label: Occasionally we can identify one of the members of the Amarna royal family by a unique characteristic. The woman on this column drum has a tall, flat-topped crown worn exclusively by Nefertiti. This same headdress appears on the famous bust of the queen that is in the Berlin Museum. Caption: Nefertiti, ca. 1352–1336 B.C.E.. Limestone, pigment, 9 1/4 × 15 × 1 3/4 in. (23.5 × 38.1 × 4.4 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 71.89. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)
