Copied from @egyptologynews.  <\/b>Today’s photo of the fresco from the Ashmolean Museum, which shows two Amarna princesses, is posted to accompany Campbell Price’s news that a small fragment of the wall from which the princess scene is just a part, has been found in Manchester Museum’s stores.  It’s not a great photo (click on it to see a larger version or go to the Ashmolean Museum website to see a much better photo http:\/\/bit.ly\/XQMgYj<\/a>) but when looking at the original fresco you can make out that the princesses are sitting at the foot of a much larger figure.  See the link to Campbell Price’s post below, which included a photograph of the fragment.<\/p>\n
