Description
Headless statuette of a princess, probably a daughter of King Akhenaten. The princess wears a thin, pleated dress with one short sleeve around her upper right arm which hangs straight at her side. Her left arm is raised. She wears a broad collar and the lower end of her sidelock is preserved. This was probably originally a group statue.
