Akhenaten and Nefertiti"

The statue ( (Ht. 90 cm) belongs to a pair of headless statues of "Akhenaten and Nefertiti" ( Silsilah sandstone), found on 4th February 1924 in rubbish 50 cm above floor in the north-east corner of small chamber at west end of L 50,12 very near to the shrine-platform of L 50,9, from which they had probably thrown out.
The statue of Nefertiti, now in the British Museum, has lost head, feet above ankles and base, most of the tablet with the right lower arm and the left hand.
Each was represented standing with feet together, on a plain rectangular plinth, with inscribed pilaster at the back...........
