| Reverse description | A finely rendered matte bust of Queen Nefertiti facing right, modeled after the celebrated polychrome limestone bust discovered at Amarna and attributed to the sculptor Thutmose. The effigy is depicted wearing her characteristic tall flat-topped blue crown adorned with horizontal bands and a broad decorative collar visible at the truncation. The portrait is rendered with exceptional sculptural relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, emphasizing the elegance and refinement of the ancient Egyptian queen. The design is enclosed by a beaded inner border, leaving the surrounding field plain. |
