EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite head of a woman, believed to be Princess Kiya, from the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Crafted out of alabaster by skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty around 3,500 years ago, this remarkable piece stands at a height of 21 cm and is currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The enigmatic beauty portrayed in this sculpture has long been associated with Princess Kiya, who was discovered alongside other treasures in KV55 tomb back in 1907.
