EDITORS COMMENTS
Ahmose-Nefertari, the revered Queen of Egypt during the New Kingdom's 19th Dynasty, is depicted in this exquisite wooden statue created around 1200 BC. The statue, now housed in the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany, showcases the regal elegance and grace of this remarkable woman. Born as a consort to Pharaoh Seti I, Ahmose-Nefertari rose to prominence as a powerful queen and potential regent, ruling alongside her son, Ramesses II. Her name, meaning "Beautiful is the One Beloved of Amon," reflects the deep reverence and devotion the ancient Egyptians held for her. This standing figure, crafted from wood, portrays Ahmose-Nefertari in her advanced age, yet her posture remains strong and proud. She wears the royal headdress adorned with the vulture and uraeus symbols, signifying her divine connection to the gods and her royal status. The intricate details of her headdress, wig, and clothing demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The interior of the statue is as intricately designed as its exterior, with hieroglyphics inscribed on the base, detailing her titles and accomplishments. The statue's preservation in the Neues Museum is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ahmose-Nefertari and the ancient Egyptian civilization. This statue is a captivating reminder of the great queens of Egypt and the rich history that continues to inspire and intrigue us. The age-old question of who Ahmose-Nefertari truly was - a consort, a regent, or both - continues to fuel scholarly debate, adding to her mystique and allure.
