Nefertiti means "the Beautiful one is Come". The German professor Borchardt found the original bust made of painted limestone in 1912 at Tel-El-Amarna (ancient Akhetaton) in what used to be the workshop of the sculptor Thutmes. Nefertiti was the daughter of a high dignitary in the Pharaoh?s court and the wife of King Akhenaten who ruled from 1379 to 1362 BC. . Her tomb has never been discovered. Nefertiti's bust was taken out of Egypt under unclear circumstances to be taken to Berlin. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Berlin (c. 1360 BC), this gallery quality reproduction is made from compound stone with a hand-painted multi-color finish and a black marble base, or as in a sandstone finish. 13"H. NOTE: This is an exceeding beautiful reproduction!
