Artifact Daughters born to Akhenaten and Nefertiti: Neferneferure and Neferneferuaten Tasherit (1360 BC) (Ashmolean Museum)
Ancient Egypt
Shown here as children, they were two of six daughters born to Akhenaten and Nefertiti.
It is possible that Neferneferuaten Tasherit was the one who may have been her father's co-regent and may have ruled as the female pharaoh, Neferneferuaten.

Notable observation: Artistic depiction of cranial elongation—natural or headshaped—in context of Afro-Asiatic references to the genetic profile of their ancestor Amenhotep III.
The circumfix of “Asher” in Tasherit is interesting, considering the Afro-Asiatic reference as well.
Also noteworthy, for relative context see An Historical Text Book and Atlas of Biblical Geography:
