In the first phase of the Amarna
Period, the princesses were represented with
unnaturally long skulls and slim necks. This was typical
of art in the period. This particular head was among
the large number of reserve heads found in the workshop
of the chief sculptor named Djehutymes at Tell
el-Amarna.
