A Black and White Photograph of the Bust of Queen Nefertiti

Photograph of a black and white bust of Queen Nefertiti

I can stare at photographs of the Nefertiti Bust all day. It’s just so alive. It was carved out of limestone and covered in stucco/plaster. The eyes were made out of quartz and affixed with beeswax. Just so beautiful. Wikipedia has a 3D model you can look at.
