This unfinished head here might be of the Queen Nefertiti or of one of her daughters.
This lady with the slightly arrogant expression is Queen Teje ( around 1355 BC).The crown on her head is a Double -Feather-Crown. Originally made out of silver and decorated with golden snakes and embroidered with pearls of which some are still to be seen at the back of the head.
Pure perfection!
Beautiful lighting in these captures!
