King Neferneferuaten is probably Nefertiti, Meritaten, or Neferneferuaten (daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti). So which one does the face on the coffinettes look like? |

Considering how different each was depicted in different works I would say we really do not know what Nefertiti, Meritaten or Neferneferuaten looked like.
Meritaten is depicted like this:
and like this:
and maybe even like this
Doesn't really paint on coherent picture to me.
And I don't think we have a whole lot of images of Neferneferuaten-tasherit. Definitely not at a slightly older age? |
