Description: | The small size and proportions of this piece would have been determined by the difficulty of working in such a hard material. The figure stands with left foot forward on a shallow rectangular base, her arms at her sides. She wears a tripartite wig with uraeus (serpent symbol of Egyptian kingship) surmounted by a Double Crown ()symbolising the two lands of Upper and Lower Eygpt) at the base of which at the rear is a perforated suspension lung. The figure has been broken in the middle and repaired.
