Amarna Princess Statue Professional Reproduction

Amarna Princess Statuette – Authentic Cast Reproduction

This professionally cast resin reproduction of the Amarna Princess is based on object #E14349 from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. It is distinct from the more well-known figure held by the British Museum. It is definitely a great archaeological display piece!

Historical Context: Late 18th Dynasty, Reign of Akhenaten

The original statuette likely dates to the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (1372–1354 BCE), during Egypt’s New Kingdom, Eighteenth Dynasty. Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti had six daughters, and representations of these royal princesses in art are relatively common from this period. This particular figure is believed to be one of those daughters.

Graceful Details and Regal Pose

The princess is depicted wearing a sheer, pleated garment with a short sleeve. Her left arm is raised as if holding the edge of the fabric, creating a wing-like gesture. While the original is missing its head, arms, and lower legs, Egyptologists describe it as “the most impressive example of its kind in the world.” It may have once been part of a double statue.
