A rare portrait 4 inch pink limestone sculpture of an 18th dynasty Amarna Princess from 1364 B.C, she is the sister of King Tut and possibly the sister he married. From the Mansoor Amarna collection, it is being offered on eBay for $195,000 starting June 23rd at www.ebay.com/princess . The piece has been examined by leading experts, including Howard Carter's (King Tut Discovery) own chemist, Alfred Lucas, and found to be genuine. This is the first time in more than 50 years it has been offered on the market. (Photo: Business Wire)

Previews of the piece are now viewable at www.ebay.com/princess

I think that during those times,
They "shaping heads at birth" had the knowledge and experience to make skulls form.

Never did like private auctions; bidders should be open and transparent, especially in the anonymous world of electronic identities.

And an opening bid at nearly $50,000 per inch, that's some pretty expensive property they're selling.

Must say though, if I had the bucks sitting around, I'd be bidding on it. Really pretty piece.

Recalls the adage, "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is right down to the bone."

Alternatively, you might want the bag of human bones --- skull included! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31480&item=7524969322
