Head of Hatshepsut (?)
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
This head is the portrait of a king, perhaps Hatshepsut. The figure wears a false beard, a royal head-cloth and a diadem with a uraeus at the front. The piece is broken flat at the back and probably was attached to a relief. There is a repaired break across the forehead. This head is a forgery, as indicated by stylistic inconsistencies and elements detected in the materials used.
