EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite limestone bust depicts Queen Ahmes-Merytamun, the beloved wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep I, during the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt's New Kingdom, around 1550 BC. The sculpture, now housed in the British Museum in London, United Kingdom, was originally discovered at the Temple of Karnak in Thebes. Queen Ahmes-Merytamun is depicted with an elegant Hathor wig, a symbol of royalty and femininity in ancient Egyptian culture. The wig, adorned with cow horns and a sun disc, represents the goddess Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and fertility. The queen's face is beautifully carved, with a serene expression and delicate features. Her headdress is adorned with intricate details, including a nemes headdress, a white linen cloth draped over her head and secured by a uraeus, a symbol of the goddess Wadjet, on her forehead. The bust is an exceptional example of the artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptian civilization during the New Kingdom period. It provides a glimpse into the life of a queen of the Egyptian empire, showcasing her beauty, power, and status. The bust's preservation in the British Museum allows us to appreciate the intricacies of ancient Egyptian art and history.
