Berlin Green Head

Berlin Green Head , colour photo The concept of a portrait is not in the standard vocabulary of the history of Egyptian art. Nevertheless, it does not just apply to the Late Period, in which Egypt was taken into the sphere of influence of the Greek world. The Berlin Green Head (around 400 BC), with its distinctive individuality, has predecessors in earlier eras and represents the climax of an artistic development which in works of the Egyptian Museum can be followed back into the third millennium BC. Like so many major pieces of the State Museums, including the portrait head of Queen Tiye and the bust of Queen Nefertiti, the Berlin Green Head is a gift from James Simon.
