This bust was probably used as a model. Nefertiti was the wife of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten, whom she supported in his religious and political revolution! Little is known about this queen, yet she has become the ideal of Egyptian beauty that defies time! During the German excavations, a detailed declaration of all the archaeological finds had to be made to the Egyptian antiquities authorities in order to establish the sharing of the finds. For this bust, the comment was simply \"limestone bust of no interest\". So the Germans kept it, and it became one of the highlights of the Berlin museum. The Egyptian authorities complained about this fraud to the German government, which eventually agreed to its return in the late 1920s. But when Hitler saw it in 1933, he refused to give it back!

It is possible that he had already begun his career during the reign of Akhenaten. He was Director of the Treasury, and could therefore be described as the Minister of the Interior and the Treasury. Maya organised the construction of Tutankhamun's tomb.\u003cbr\u003eHe had his own tomb built next to that of General Horemheb. Later, during the reign of Ramses II, another tomb was inserted between the two: that of the treasury director Tia. The statue is in perfect condition. It most certainly comes from the portico, where it was perhaps positioned on a plinth. It measures 1.58 m on Maya's side and 1.56 m on Meryt's side. Maya is seated on the left, her wife Merit on the right.\u003cbr\u003eThe right arm is beautifully sculpted, stretched flat over the upper thigh. The left arm is also extended, but the hand holds a folded ball of cloth, the ends of which fall to the side of the thigh.\u003cbr\u003eA column of text is engraved on Maya's skirt: \"Everything that comes to the altar of the Lord of the gods for the Ka of the true royal scribe, Overseer of the Treasury of the Lord of the Two Lands, Maya, the righteous\".\u003cbr\u003eIn both figures, the sculptor paid particular attention to the faces and arms, which are rendered very realistically.\u003cbr\u003eHere we've turned the two magnificent busts into bookends.

This sculpture served as a model for the other sculptors he would visit in each city, thus learning the form and canons chosen by the king to represent him. When the king or queen died, these model heads were destroyed, hence their rarity. But when the king died, the capital Akhet-aton was abandoned and they remained in the workshop without being destroyed. From Amenhotep III onwards, sculptors innovated by using a combination of several coloured stones to make up the different parts of a statue. For this head, for example, a crown of a stone of a different colour would have been attached to the upper part of the head, all resting on a body that was still different. This explains the square base instead of the top of the head.
