this is the Royal Family of Akhenaton, Amarna, 18th Dynasty. The sunken relief is on an altar stele. Probably a small shrine in a home or garden carved into the stone leaving the surrounding stone untouched. The couple depicted are relaxed and do not look royal. The king is shown lovingly holding a daughter on the left and kissing her while the wife is on the right with two daughters, one on her lap and the other playing with her earring. The scene appears to be inside a garden pavilion with 3 wine jars in the back. The sun disk above has a small cobra in it symbolizing Aton is the only god and the sun is extending life to the king and queen. He and his wife are the only representatives of Aton. The figures have a composite view of the body, a profile view of the face, and a frontal view of the eye. Also, The hip is facing us but the shoulders are square body in profile. Finally, the queen's throne has both upper and lower Egypt signifying the unification and the couple rules both. This royal family depiction is different than the earlier period's royal family depictions. First of all, you can actually observe the intimacy of the scene. Pharaoh is about to kiss one of their daughters. Another daughter sits on Queen Nefertiti's lap and the youngest one reaches out the queen's earring. It is different than other period's (for example Menkaure and Khamarernebty sculptures) stiff, rigid robotic idealistic poses. Postures of the figures are more relaxed. Naturalism specifically emphasized on all figures Pharaoh Akhenaton does not have the idealistic masculine, fit, athletic Godlike appearance in here. He has an elongated head, prostrated belly, thin arms, and a long neck. His appearance is feminized for creating the fertile character of Aton.
