Sculpture Fragment from Amarna - New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII.jpg

This sculpture fragment from Amarna shows a princess eating a duck. It is unfinished by the artist who started to carve the piece in relief as can be seen in the leg area.
Her elongated body and pooching belly show the more naturalistic style of the Amarna court of the "heretic pharoah" Akhenaten (Amenophis IV). Cario Museum
