The complete scene to which this relief belonged must have shown the Royal family worshipping the Aten. For a fragment of a boundary stela preserving two princesses, each with a sistrum, standing behind Nefertiti (only partially preserved) see no. 38 in R. Freed, et al., Pharaohs of the Sun, Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamen. For another fragment preserving the bust of a princess tentatively identified as Meretaten, see no. 27 in H.S.T. Reed et al., Ancient Art in the Virginia Museum.
