    I found this plaster bust while going through a box. I am not sure who this bust represents. I thought Ramsey, King Tut or Nefertiti not sure. I was wondering maker and how old it could be, too? The dimensions are 4 1/4" longest length from base x 4 3/8" longest width from hat x 11 1/2" from bottom up to the front of the hat. Thank you for help in this Egyptian bust. Rob

    Probably Nefertiti. It would help to see in profile.

    Nefertiti, I'd say. I doubt it's plaster with that treacle glaze.

    Just for future searching for other Egyptians Rob, it would be: Ramses, Ramesses or Rameses not Ramsey.

    Yes, Bronwen wants a side view (profile).

    Yes, Nefertiti. Reproductions of this bust have been a popular decorator item for a very long time.
