I thought it would be fun to try making a lifelike representation of Hatshepsut, the Egyptian Queen who reigned in the Middle Kingdom roughly 4000 years ago.  I used a statue of her as a reference as well as contemporary artifacts including the headdress and banded necklace that would have been worn by pharaohs.

Several years from now I hope to be able to travel to Egypt and see the Temple of Hatshepsut in Luxor, along with the Valley of Kings and other amazing sites from ancient Egypt.
