Head of a Queen or Goddess
1 of 12
Object Label
The facial features of this head recur on sculpture dating from the end of Dynasty XXX until well into the Ptolemaic Period (305–30 B.C.). The subject here is either a queen or a goddess, but which one is uncertain because the headdress, which might have provided a clue, is lost.
