A tiuy head, exquisitely carved in limestone and no bigger than a walnut, was the gem of the collection shown in Loudon recently by the Egypt Exploration Society. It is believed to be a likeness of the princess who became the wife of Tutankhamen. The relic was found in the dust of the royal city of Tel-cl-Amarna, built by Akhematen and left deserted less than 25 years later by his successor, Tutankhamen, never again to be inhabited. That this small, soft stone should have retained the portrait seems incredible, yet it is to-day almost as perfect as when the last touch was put to it by the cunning hand of its carver 3000 years ago.
