The Vessel

Egyptoligists found a group of wigs in what they belive was the tomb of Nefertiti, the Queen of the heritic Pharoh Aknaton, he of the invention of monotheism. One of the wigs was a huge on that measured approx. 4" in diameter. The wig was thought to belong to the High Priest of the old religion who plotted to de-throne the heritic. The wig was thought to be used for the opening of the mouth cerimony. The wig was adorned with precious jewels suggesting that the wearer ministered to royalty. This piece was inspired by that wig.
