\paperw4260 \margr0\margl0 \plain \fs20 \f1 This headless statuette in pink quartzite may portray Queen Nefertiti. the wife of Amenhotep IV.\par
In tribute to the celebrated bea
uty of this queen, the artist has represented the sensual forms of her body, scarcely veiled by a transparent tunic.\par
The tunic clings closely to the body, forming subtle folds, and is tied with a small knot under the left breast, leaving one shoulde
r bare.\par
The fringed hem of the fabric is visible from the side.
