Black on black

Black corduroy jacket and replica of the head of Nefertiti, the poor girl’s nose is not so beautiful as everyone believes........;)

Beautiful in b&w. I have been to museums of Egyptology and I remember seeing something like this and the nose attracted my attention.

Nice black on black. Poor Nefertiti needs a bit of plastic surgery.

I do believe it's where we get the term defaced from when something is damaged on purpose. Victors (I struggled to spell conquerors) would go around destroying artifacts of the vanquished (losers!) . Napoleon's army shot off the sphynx's nose!! Many a Christian saint has lost part of a face due to Cromwell in England.

A lovely black on black!!

@sangwann Thank you for your comment Dione! You have probably seen the real thing, this little statue’s nose provided the maker with some problems.....

@onewing Thanks Babs, I totally agree with you 😀

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie, I have been tempted in the past to do something about her nose.........but to remove it altogether 😉

Lol Jacqueline - unfortunately your lovely, clear image lets us see her nose so very well!!

[Jacqueline]

@robz lol Thanks Rob, the poor girl.......I have a postcard at home where she is shown with a lovely nose.....must have been photoshopped🤔
