Queen Nofret

Detail from the Seated Statue of Queen Nofret.

Queen Nofret is shown seated on a throne, wearing a wig known as a Hathor wig.

She wears an incised openwork pectoral, a large piece of jewelry that is worn upon the chest. The erased text on the throne's sides likely listed the queen's titles.
