AGING
GRACEFULLY
Found at Amarna in 1920,
a standing limestone statue
depicts Nefertiti in her later
years. Sculpted around
1353-1336 b.c., the work
shows the queen wearing
a cap crown, a sheer dress
(barely visible sleeves can
be seen on the arms), and
sandals. Egyptian Museum
and Papyrus Collection,
