Ancient Egyptian statue of Queen Nefertiti Bust gold plated made in Egypt. Height 17 cm depth 6.5 cm width 9 cm weight 790 grams. Nefertiti was a Queen of Egypt and wife of King Akhenaton, who played a prominent role in changing Egypt’s traditional polytheistic religion to one that was monotheistic, worshipping the Sun god known as Aton. An elegant portrait bust of Nefertiti now in Berlin is perhaps one of the most well-known ancient sculptures. Nefertiti was also considered a living fertility goddess. Nefertiti is perhaps ancient Egypt’s most famous queen- she and Akhenaten produced six daughters, a female royal contingent that enjoyed unusual prominence during Akhenaten’s reign. In fact, Nefertiti holds the position as the Egyptian queen with the most surviving appearances on monuments and other artistic mediums.
