TopBecause of an amazing facial reconstruction created by world-renowned forensic sculptor and artist, Frank Bender, and based on the detailed physiological portrait provided by CAT scans made in 2003, this is the first time the public will come face-to-face with this 2,000 year-old woman from the ancient Egyptian town of Akhmim.
The sculpture will be on view in the Ancient Civilizations Gallery, accompanied by a new focus exhibition titled Nefrina's World. You’ll enjoy never-before-seen images of her CAT scans and fascinating new insights into the world in which she lived.
