Lady Tuy

This reproduction is inspired by a statuette portraying an elegant lady of the Amenophis III period.

She is dressed in a smooth, simple tunic which conceals her ankles but hugs her body.

A discreet and delicately pleated shawl is draped over her shoulders. A heavy, finely braided wig frames her face and covers her shoulders.

This contrast between headdress and clothing was a canon of elegance during that period.

Dresses often hugged the body in a revealing way or, on the contrary, enveloped it in a plethora of refined decoration.
