She may be ancient, but she's still got it. :)

Great title! And great image too! I really like her. :)

is she blind in her left eye or does she just have a very lazy eye (both in the puzzle and in the internet link)

Thanks for your entry Kai!

Really neat image and a nice solve.

bugaboo forgot to finish with "hehe"

first of all byrdie it was not a joke this time
look at the picture

second of all i have never said "hehe"
its "haha"

haha

Wonderful image! bugaboo, the bust is just very old and missing several pieces including her eyeball and parts of her ears. Great entry Kai!

thanks karylann
can you see how in the picture the inner shadow of her left eye looks like a pupil that is way turned in though

thanks for entry, Kai

Beautiful puzzle, Kai.

For those of you who might be interested, here's the story about her eye:

Good find, Teresa...thanks for the info!

thanks, Teresa. Also for the link.
By the way: The bust can be seen only some miles away from me in a Berlin museum.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Simple smile logic on the smile. :)

cool, but I was thinking a girl from the 70's with that hair style!!

One of the most beautiful portrait busts of all time, as far as I'm concerned. She looks particularly elegant in profile:

Okay, so it's a 3/4 profile ;)

Here's another, less elegant image of her, at right, with husband Akhenaten and their children:

Head-binding was popular at the time, which elongated the skulls and give the children an alien appearance.

This was a fascinating time in Egyptian art; it only lasted during the reign of Akhenaten, aka Amenhotep IV (before he abandoned the old gods and changed his name)
