statues

Headless bust of red quartzite from a composite statue of Akhenaten or Nefertiti, perhaps depicted kneeling in pose of making offerings; neck mortized for head; three pairs of cartouches of the Aten (early form) on chest, top of a fourth pair visible on left arm. Necklace in raised relief and pleating survive. Purposeful damage to bust(?).
