Descrizione

The fragment of a hand and wrist of a statue carved of fine marmoreal limestone bears the so called early solar rings with the name of the sun-god Aten. This form of the solar titulary was in use starting from months 1 - 2 of the Inundation season, year 4 of Akhenaten, to his late year 11 - early year 12, and its presence on the statue proves that it was an image of Akhenaten or his wife Nefretete.
