Head of a royal statuette, probably of modern manufacture

Head of a royal statuette, possibly a modern copy. The face is made of faience or blue-painted stone. The pharaoh’s face is oval in shape, with well-proportioned and delicate features. Under the neck is a rectangular cavity, probably intended for insertion onto a statuette. The pharaoh wears a nemes which appears to be made of bronze, with a uraeus featuring a long tail and two coils. The object’s authenticity remains uncertain.
