Description: Normal 0 21 false false false DE X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 EGYPT & GERMANY| Bust of Nefertiti, Bakelite/Faturan copy (1925) Rare bust of Nefertiti, hand-carved copy made of Bakelite/Faturan, Egypt or Germany, 1925. It is the undisputed star of the New Museum in Berlin and, alongside the Pergamon Altar and Ishtar Gate, the most famous exhibit on Museum Island Berlin: the bust of Nefertiti, which was discovered in 1912 and was made around 1340 BC. When it went on display in 1924, it was a world sensation. Tis tiny copy was executed in Egypt in the 1920ties, using the new and eciting phenolic resin Bakelite or Faturan, a Germand-made artificial amber. It was aquired by my grand-grandmother in Berlin or Cairo immediately after the Nerfitit bust was displayed in Berlin. The bust became an iconic piece of art and the Art Deco beauty idol. This tiny copy is a beautioful proof of this early fascination. The seller guarantees that he is authorised to send this lot. The seller will ensure that all necessary authorisations are obtained.
