Mary Chubb unearthed this delicate-featured, 2-inch-high head at the Egyptian site of Tell el-Amarna in the 1930s. The figure was immediately identified by excavation director John Pendlebury as Ankhesenpaaten, a daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten (1353–1336 B.C.) and the wife of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (1332–1322 B.C.).
