This sculptor's model consists of two heads of individuals facing one another. Taking note of the elongated form of the heads, the elongated eyes, large ears and fleshy lips, all characteristics of Amarna art, it seems likely that it represents the royal couple of Nefertiti and Akhenaten. A study of a left hand can be observed above the head of the latter.
