Late Image of Nefertiti Nefertiti here wears the so-called Nubian wig. Formerly this wig had been worn almost exclusively by Nubian soldiers serving in pharaoh's army. Nefertiti seems to have adopted it as her personal symbol. She popularized the Nubian wig to such an extent that both men and women frequently wore it at el Amarna.

Nefertiti Occasionally we can identify one of the members of the Amarna royal family by a unique characteristic. The woman on this column drum has a tall, flat-topped crown worn exclusively by Nefertiti. This same headdress appears on the famous bust of the queen that is in the Berlin Museum.

Early Image of Nefertiti Sandstone, painted New Kingdom, late Dynasty 18, first five years of the reign of Amunhotep IV/ Akhenaten (circa 1352-1347 BC) Almost certainly from Karnak Accession # 64.199.2 Nefertiti raises her arms in an attitude of prayer or offering. Originally the Aten appeared above her. The two tiny hands in front of the queen's face belong to streams of light coming from the sun disk. One of these hands holds an ankh-sign (the hieroglyph for "life") to Nefertiti's nose, so that she can receive the "breath of life" given to the faithful by the Aten.
