Limestone relief carving of a woman and a child, found in El-Amarna, Egypt, late 18th Dynasty, c. 1350-1330 BCE.
The British Museum, London. Photo taken at The Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, Australia.
This relief might have a sculptor's preparatory sketch for a large wall carving. The woman is most likely not an elite woman since they are rarely depicted as pregnant or nursing babies.
