Ancient Egypt

A fine carved limestone relief depicting the profile of an Egyptian royal woman in rightward aspect, likely representing Queen Tausret (Twosret) or a contemporary 19th Dynasty queen. The figure is rendered with classical Ramesside stylistic features: a refined facial profile featuring a almond-shaped eye with a subtle cosmetic line, a straight, defined nose, and softly contoured, full lips with a gentle smile. She wears a voluminous tripartite wig bordered by an intricate geometric hairband, with two long, textured ribbons falling down the back of her head. The upper right corner retains a curved incised line, suggesting the lower loop of a crown or an accompanying hieroglyphic inscription. Condition: Fragmentary as shown, with natural weathered edges and chip losses consistent with antiquity. Excellent preservation of the central relief carving and fine facial details. Mounted or displayed as an independent fragment. Provenance: Private Collection, acquired in 1976 (supported by original purchase invoice).
