The statue dates back to the Luxor cache, and was discovered in 1989. It reflects an aspect of the exceptional status enjoyed by Queen Nefertari, wife of King Ramesses II, whose name was associated with beauty, holiness, and symbolic presence in the ancient Egyptian faith.
The statue is displayed as part of the activities of the archaeological archival exhibition “Nefertari – In the Rehab of Jamila al-Jamilat,” held in cooperation with the Italian Antiquities Center, within the framework of shedding light on the personality of Nefertari and her religious, political and artistic role during the era of the New Kingdom.
The exhibition was prepared and designed by archaeological expert Francis Amin. The exhibition presents an integrated scientific and visual vision, combining archival material and archaeological documentation, in a way that enriches the visitor’s experience and deepens his understanding of the greatness of Queen Nefertari.
The exhibition is currently receiving visitors in the 7th Upper Gallery of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, and is scheduled to continue until next February 28, giving the public a rare opportunity to see one of the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art and explore part of the biography of “Gamila Al-Jamilat.”
