The Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten (r. 1353-1336 BCE), sits on the left and holds one of his daughters. Queen Nefertiti (c. 1370 - c. 1336 BCE) sits on the right and two of her daughters appear with her (one sits on her lap and the other rests on the left shoulder). The couple is seated under the God Aten and his rays. Several cartouches of Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and Aten can be seen. Note the typical Amarna style of the head/skull, belly, and hips/thighs.
