The following item is a vintage ceramic bust or statue of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. Nefertiti was known throughout the ancient world for her outstanding beauty and her name loosely translates to “The beautiful woman has come.” Nefertiti was believed to be wife to the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep IV & mother-in-law of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The bust has a lovely finish, making it appear as though made of bronze. This has fabulous lines, an elegant form and great detail. It is in very good condition, having age appropriate wear. It has an felt bottom. There is no damage that I can find, although there are a couple of spots where the paint/finish is missing. Nothing that detracts from it's appearance, and just assures you that it is indeed vintage. Could use a light cleaning, but I prefer to leave this choice to the buyer. It measures approximately 12 1/2" tall. Purchased locally here in the Berkshires.
