The bust of Queen Nefertiti housed in Berlin’s Neues Museum is one of Ancient Egypt’s most famous works of art. A prime example of ancient artistry, this icon has been called “the most beautiful woman in the world”. Hypnotizing audiences since it went on display in 1923, the statue gives insight into the enigmatic queen and continues to generate controversy and debate in art and politics.
Nefertiti’s bust is the sole work of art in the dimly lit room. She stands 48 cm (19 inches) tall and weighs 20 kg (44 lbs). Positioned slightly above eye level, the viewer gazes up at her, contributing to the power and regal feeling of the piece. The statue is delicate, elegant and very symmetrical with a visual flow guiding you from the top of the crown down to the long neck. The naturalism differs from earlier more formal and rigid Egyptian art.
The estimated date of the statue’s creation is 1345 BC during the Amarna Period. There are no inscriptions, but Nefertiti was identified by her trademark blue flat-top crown with the uraeus (cobra), which is missing. The core is limestone covered with plaster, which allowed for the exception molding and detail around the face.

Premature Pumpkinitis…is what we’re calling the appearance of pumpkins here in our digital state before their time—which is obviously OCTOBER, people. Not September. ’Tis not yet the season! Hathst thou no SHAME? Having said that, this pumpkin who lives in a pumpkin is suffering. Help them, somebody, please.

Ah, to have the balance of these noble cukes.
And, to return to the meta we love, and in which we dwell—here are cats eating tasty morsels. But here’s the twist: These cats are, themselves, tasty morsels. It’s a whole cute circle of life. Sweet!
Too cute 🥰
