This is the face of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, stunningly reconstructed by modern science from a badly-damaged mummy. It answers one of the most beguiling mysteries of the ages - were her looks ...

In the bust, Nefertiti is seen wearing a wide collar and a flat-topped crown with a golden band and uraeus (a headdress featuring a sacred serpent), decorated in greens, yellows, browns and blues.

Women began to model their appearance after Nefertiti, with eye makeup resembling her feline style, blouses mimicking the fashion of her era, and hairstyles raised high to emulate her crown.
