Wooden relic of Queen Tiye in the crown of two feathers. (crown colourized by me to show what it possibly looked like in former glory.) Yew wood, silver, gold and faience inlays Total height 22,5 cm
This 22cm piece which now resides in Berlin shows imagery of Queen Tiye carved from yew wood. The crown itself is not as it was in it’s original form. Today when you see this piece you see a brown surface however, originally this piece would have had tiny blue beads on the crown, and a cobra on the forefront of the crown itself. (If you zoom in on the first picture you will see some of the original beading still in tact).
CHECK!!!
Queen Tiye looks like she takes absolutely NO SHIT but can also give you a smile that can make the blackest man blush beet red.
