Amarnian princess head

Quartzite head of an Amarnian princess, probably one of Akhenaten's daughters. Part of a composite statue. The shape of the skull is elongated, the eyes and eyebrows marked with dark-coloured lines. The head comes from Tell el Amarna, in particular from the studio of Thutmose, a sculptor of the royal circle who became famous for his production of heads of impressive beauty and striking naturalism.
