Nefertiti Busts & Figurines

Nefertiti Bust - the Queen of Egypt

Nefertiti is one of the best-known queens of ancient Egypt. Her bust, discovered in Amarna in 1912 and today on display in the Neues Museum on Berlin's Museum Island, is among the most famous works of art from antiquity. As Great Royal Wife of Amenhotep IV – who later called himself Akhenaten – she held an unusually prominent position; some scholars believe she ruled for a time as co-regent. The name Nefertiti means "the beautiful one has come".

Busts, Figurines and Miniatures

Nefertiti appears here mainly as a bust – from small miniatures to larger replicas, hand-painted or bronzed. Most replicas follow the Berlin original with its flat-topped blue crown, but are considerably smaller. Another ruler of this era is Tutankhamun, and further gods and royal figures can be found among the Egyptian figurines.

FAQ about the Nefertiti Bust

What is the original Nefertiti bust worth?

The original Nefertiti bust belongs to the collection of the Berlin State Museums and is not on the art market. It is therefore not possible to assign it a meaningful market value. Replicas are available, and their price depends on size, painting and level of detail.
