Fragment of an Inlay Headdress, c. 1353-1295 BC. This fragment is part of the curled headdress of an inlay figure, probably of a queen, assembled of various materials fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The front part of the headdress (directly over the forehead) is to the left, followed by the ear tab and part of the cutout above the ear. The luster of the faience is marvelously preserved. Blue, primarily associated with lapis lazuli, was an appropriate colour for kings and gods hair and was part of the apparatus signaling them as otherworldly beings.
