Beschrijving
Nefertiti unfinished is a head that was rediscovered during excavations in the ruins of Amarna, the city Akhenaten dedicated to the worship of his supreme deity, the Aten. It was found near the workshop of the sculptor Thutmose, where the famous bust of Nefertiti was also discovered. The life-size quartzite head is unfinished: the ink guide lines are still visible and part of the left side of the face is rough, yet the sculptor had already painted the lips. A dowel at the base of the neck was meant to fit it onto a body of another material, as was common in Amarna statuary. Its features closely match the Berlin bust.
