Statuette of a Royal Woman with the Cartouche of Necho II

This nude sensual female figure has the cartouches of Necho II on her upper arms. A small tightly fitted wig caps her head, and two holes with silver wires are located in the wig over her forehead; their placement suits a uraeus. She wears a finely wrought broad collar plus earrings (only one of which is preserved), bracelets and anklets.

Late period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 610-595 BC. Made of Silver. Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 30.8.93
