The Global Egyptian Museum

The head belonged to a statue of a queen or a goddess. She wears a tripartite wig with uraeus and a headgear crowned with horns and a sun-disk. The eyes with long cosmetic lines were inlayed, the eyebrows are treated in a very low relief. The nose with a thin bridge and full smiling lips are characteristic of the Ptolemaic period. Close parallels allow us to make the dating more exact and to place the statue into the first century BC.
