Canopic Jar Lid, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, late reign of Akhenaten, ca. 1340–1336 B.C.
Egyptian; From KV55, Valley of the Kings, western Thebes
Egyptian alabaster with glass and stone inlays
Egyptian wigs are always something I’ve found fascinating. This is a really lovely representation of one in a pretty stunning medium! ALABASTER!
