Early Image of Nefertiti in the Brooklyn Museum, January 2010
Early Image of Nefertiti
Sandstone, painted
New Kingdom, late Dynasty 18, first five years of the reign of Amunhotep IV/ Akhenaten (circa 1352-1347 BC)
Almost certainly from Karnak
Accession # 64.199.2
Nefertiti raises her arms in an attitude of prayer or offering. Originally the Aten appeared above her. The two tiny hands in front of the queen's face belong to streams of light coming from the sun disk. One of these hands holds an ankh-sign (the hieroglyph for "life") to Nefertiti's nose, so that she can receive the "breath of life" given to the faithful by the Aten.
