Head of a woman
New Kingdom
The size of this beautifully carved head might suggest that it was part of an elaborate cosmetic spoon with a handle in the form of a swimming girl. However, the lower neck edge of heads that fit such spoons is normally flattened. This example may then have actually belonged to a small ivory statuette.
