Unguent Vase of Queen Kiya
Unknown
ca. 1353–1323 B.C. · Travertine (Egyptian alabaster) · Egyptian Art
The inscription on this small unguent jar is of historical interest because the three columns at the right record one of the few clear writings of the titulary of Akhenaten's little-known secondary queen, Kiya. The hieroglyphs were once filled with Egyptian blue, traces of which remain.
