Nefertiti bust exact replica
(*Height and weight may vary slightly from different casts. Additional base support is normally added as this is a 20kg+ heavy bust!)
Our sculptures are produced via traditional casting methods using a premium, solid white cast stone blend of high-grade mineral components to achieve an heirloom-quality weight, texture, brightness and density that artificial materials simply cannot replicate. It carries the physical presence of real stone and is built to outlast generations, as the originals were intended to do.
History:
The Nefertiti Bust is a painted stucco-coated limestone bust of Nefertiti, the Great Royal Wife of Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten. The work is believed to have been crafted in 1345 BCE by Thutmose because it was found in his workshop in Amarna, Egypt. It is one of the most-copied works of ancient Egypt. Nefertiti has become one of the most famous women of the ancient world and an icon of feminine beauty. The original is currently in the Neues Museum, Museum Island, Berlin. The original cast statue is currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
