anceint Egyptian artwork reproduction sure to please as a gift or for

Nefertiti
means "the Beautiful One is Come".
The bust of painted limestone was found by the German professor Borchardtt in
1912 at Tel-El-Amarna, ancient Akhetaton, which was the King's new capital in
Middle Egypt in what used to be the workshop of the sculptor, Thutmes.
Nefertiti was the daughter of a high dignitary of the Pharaoh's court. She was
the wife of King Akhenaton who ruled from 1379 to 1362 B.C. She was an
influential Queen but she is principally remembered for her personal beauty
and the lovely statue that was carved centuries ago. Details of the life of
the stunning Queen are veiled by the mist of time. One of her six daughters
was Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun's wife.
Her
tomb has never been discovered. Queen Nefertiti's bust was taken out of Egypt
under unclear circumstances to be taken to Berlin.
