Relief: Queen or Goddess with Vulture Headdress
This relief plaque was probably a sculptor's model or study. It shows a royal or divine woman wearing the vulture headdress topped with protective uraeus serpents. The intricate and detailed patterns of headdress, wig, and collar contrast with the smooth plains of the face.
