Was the Bust of Nefertiti a goddess and if so goddess of what?

Nefertiti was one of the most powerful queens of Egypt, but only a goddess insofar as the Egyptians considered all of their pharaohs divine. She was the wife of Akhenamun (later called Akhenaten), and after he died, she ruled independently for a time before the rule of the kingdom was taken over by Smenkhare. One theory is that Smenkhare was, in fact, a name for Nefertiti.


Why does Nefertiti's bust not have a pupil?

Nefertiti's bust, created around 1345 BCE, lacks a pupil likely due to the artistic conventions of ancient Egyptian sculpture, which often emphasized idealized beauty and spiritual presence over realism. The absence of a pupil may also reflect the belief that the eyes were windows to the soul, and leaving them blank could suggest a divine or eternal quality. Additionally, the unfinished nature of the bust may indicate that it was a work in progress, or it could have been a stylistic choice by the artist to convey a sense of mystery.


What is the 'famous hat' that Nefertiti wore?

The 'famous hat' worn by Nefertiti is often referred to as the "Nefertiti cap" or the "blue crown." This distinctive headpiece features a tall, flat-topped design with a broad base and is typically depicted in ancient Egyptian art. It symbolizes her status and power as a queen, and is often associated with the goddesses of fertility and motherhood. The most famous representation of Nefertiti wearing this crown is found in the iconic bust housed in Berlin's Neues Museum.
