Description
Content (description)
An Egyptian female , Tuia, Queen of Seti I; from the Horti Sallustiani, stands with her left foot forward, her right hand holding a 'roll' by her side, her left hand holding a flail beneath her breasts. She wears a close-fitting tunic, a deep decorated collar and a wide bracelet on each wrist. Her voluminous headdress is decorated with feathers and falls to her breasts and round her arms. She has a mural crown (?) on top of it. On the right is a detail of a hieroglyphic panel, presumably from the back of the statue, and on the left side a panel with hieroglyphics above, a standing figure below.
