| Reverse description | Deeply sculpted high-relief composition depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Nefertiti in an intimate embrace, rendered in a neo-classical interpretation of ancient Egyptian iconography with selective gold gilding. Amenhotep is portrayed bare-chested to the left, wearing a gilded nemes headdress adorned with a uraeus serpent and a broad usekh collar, his muscular torso turned toward the queen. Nefertiti faces him to the right, crowned with a gilded flat-topped crown bearing a uraeus, adorned with a gilded broad collar and holding a crook sceptre, also gilt. The background field, struck in antique silver finish, features palm fronds, hieroglyphic inscriptions, draped fabric, and a distant landscape with pyramids, creating a richly atmospheric Egyptian setting. |
