This portrait sculpture depicts Queen Tiye of Egypt, who ruled in the 14th century BCE, through her marriage to the pharaoh Amenhotep III. After her husband's death, her son, Akhenaten took the throne, making Tiye Queen Mother. She exudes a sense of power in her strong gaze and royal headdress. Though both living in 14th century BCE Egypt, Tiye and Nefertiti are depicted very differently, with skin colors and physiognomy that would suggest different races and origins, demonstrating the diversity of African depictions that exist within African art. The depiction of Tiye is far less infamous than that of Nefertiti, demonstrating a narrative of Egyptian art looking a certain way, despite the diversity that is present.
