Original - Nefertiti was the Great Royal Wife of Egyptian Pharoah Akhenaten. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they started to worship one god only. This was Aten, or the sun disc. She was made famous by her bust, now in Berlin's Neues Museum, shown to the right. The bust is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt. It was attributed to the sculptor Thutmose, and it was found in his workshop. The bust is notable for exemplifying the understanding Ancient Egyptians had regarding realistic facial proportions.

Reason: Very good bust of her. It was featured on german wikipedia and a valued picture on commons.

Weak support. Clear EV (especially in Nefertiti Bust, and Nefertiti) eye-catching, pretty good quality. The only niggle is the rather messy cut out job on the stand. Would be a full support if that was cleaned up. J Milburn (talk) 10:35, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. The cutout doesn't seem worse than, say, the shell image we recently promoted. Cowtowner (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - important piece, great to have an image of this quality. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
