Standing Figure of Nefertiti, Ancient Egyptian limestone sculpture at Egyptian Museum of Berlin, Germany.

The Standing Figure of Nefertiti measures 40 centimeters in height and depicts the queen wearing a transparent robe and fitted hood with yellow pigment.

German archaeologists discovered this limestone sculpture in multiple fragments during excavations at Tell el-Amarna in 1920, inside the workshop of ancient artist Thutmose.

The statue represents Queen Nefertiti at an older age after bearing six children, marking a shift from standardized Egyptian art toward more naturalistic representation.

Visitors can examine the statue's detailed craftsmanship, including the black eyelids, red mouth, and remnants of a collar pattern around the neck area.

The incomplete right arm, upper left arm, toes, and nipples indicate this sculpture remained unfinished, with visible markings suggesting planned enhancements to facial features.

Inception: 1350 BCE

Height: 40 cm
