The Face of Prince Webensenu-? (Artistic Photoshop Reconstruction)

Project requested by: Angel Amezquita @ Angelgreat & Jeftis Experts are still not entirely sure, but they believe this 10 to 15-year-old mummy to be the remains of Prince Webensenu, son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II. His placement alongside the mummy of "The Elder Lady", later identified as Queen Tiye, and "The Younger Lady" found through DNA to be the mother of King Tutankhamun, seemed to be proof of his claim to royal status in the 18th Dynasty of Egypt’s history. There is no obvious cause of death. ARTIST NOTES: The sidelock of youth in ancient Egypt tended to be worn until about age 12, and the mummy’s robust frame and early signs of maturity in the skull seems to lean in the direction of being someone being at or older than 10 years, if only marginally. I’ll note here that when some online artists try to reconstruct a mummy into a lifelike version, they make the cardinal mistake of staying within the original outlines of the mummy rather than making allowances for the fact that the body shrinks considerably after being fully dehydrated by the mummification process. Understanding how death alters the features in some individuals is also a grim consideration that gets overlooked. Case in point, this particular mummified prince’s face sagged as he lay on his back after death, as the hints of his flattened lips and elongated mouth corners suggest. This also gave a clue about his facial structure, as those with fuller cheeks tend to have more sagging once all the tissues settle. His nose dried upwards exposing the nostrils rather than downward, leading to the idea of a smaller, youthful nose. The sidelock of hair on the side of his head was unusually thick and lush considering the small area it was growing from. I was not able to find any color photographs that might have hinted to hair color, so I chose a generic shade in keeping with the region he was born and raised in and his likely ancestry. Finite details like eye shape and angle and eyebrow shape would have been easier to determine if there was an x-ray or MRI of the skull to work from rather than dried skin over bone which tends to distort the features, but I managed the best I could by determining shape through the highlights and shadows of the skull underneath the skin where it was most visible. I even saw what I thought was a tiny cleft in his chin. Knowing that some embalmers put packing into the eye sockets to preserve a more lifelike appearance, I guessed that the same was done for him as there as very little sinking of the eye sockets. By the 18th dynasty, men and women and children wore earrings, so even while only one intact ear was pierced for an earring on this mummy, I presumed that the other ear would have been similarly pierced.
