There is a fine specimen at the Louvre, and another in the museum at Leydeu. For an account of every stage and detail in the glass and glaze manufactures of Tell el Amarna, see W.M.F.

Its two points of heavy, gold-embroidered cloth extended to her slim hips. The golden serpent, emerald-eyed, was clasped about her little round, determined forehead, darting its double tongue of rubies over her head.
A Pharaoh's head in dead blue wears a klaft with dark-blue stripes. Fine as these pieces are, the chef-d'oeuvre of the series is a statuette of one Ptahmes, first Prophet of Amen, now in the Gizeh Museum. The hieroglyphic inscriptions as well as the details of the mummy bandages are chased in relief upon a white ground of admirable smoothness afterwards filled in with enamel.
The head, instead of wearing the customary "klaft," or head-gear of folded linen, is clothed with an ample mane, which also surrounds the face. The eyes are small; the nose is aquiline and depressed at the tip; the cheekbones are prominent; the lower lip slightly protrudes.
