The Queen with the Blue Crown: Berlin Museum - Germany

In the city of Berlin, Germany, lives a statue considered one of the most famous in the whole world. It is the bust of Queen Nefertiti! This statue, made of limestone and painted with bright colors that haven't changed for thousands of years, shows Nefertiti wearing her tall blue crown that no other queen ever wore. Amazingly, this statue attracts thousands of visitors every single day who just want to stand in front of it and marvel at how the Pharaohs carved faces so real that they almost look like they are breathing!

If we asked you to sculpt a statue of your best friend, would you paint it with real colors or fantasy colors like green and purple?
