This statue originally formed a double one with what is left of the husband, a head, now in Luxor Museum. She is wearing transparent dress and holds a bead necklace in her right hand, which relates to Hathor, goddess of love and beauty. Her wig is composed of curly hair kept together by two bands, the upper one decorated with lotus petals and a frontal lotus flower.

I am dead serious: If you are a Walmart employee, at any level and in any store — like if you are a high school kid with a part time job stocking shelves — message me any question you have about unions. Like ask me “What’s a union” if you want. I will explain it to you.
I am a grievance chair for a white collar union whose workplace only unionized within the last five years and whose management fought as every step of the way, but in the end we fucking won. It can be done, and I can tell you how.
Part of a group statue depicting Nakhtmin, a royal scribe and army general under Tutankhamun and his successor Ay. His facial characteristics are influenced by the Amarna Period. Nakhtmin was heir apparent, and possibly the son of Ay, but was supplanted by Horemheb, who may have had his statue destroyed.

Up now on my eBay! Rare 1970′s anime production cel from Toei animation! This cel is from either Starzinger or Captain Future, it has been hard to identify! Also up for grabs: my superheroine comic collection (70’s-80’s stuff), random Radio Comix books and various indie comics! My house is super small, and I am still selling off thirty years’ worth of collectibles to raise money for ongoing back taxes & various upcoming large expenses, so every little bit helps. Thanks for looking & sharing!
