拍品专文

This head, once in the round, preserves the face from a female statue wearing a wig fronted by a uraeus and topped by a fragmentary modius. These attributes indicate that the portrayal is of a royal or divine individual. Her elongated, almond-shaped eyes preserve traces of original Egyptian blue inlay.
