More on the Queen Tiy statue

A slightly longer summary of the find, than most of the smaller press releases that are being published online, quoting the expedition director Betsy Brian.

A super set of photos on the John Hopkins University Dig Diary, showing the entire statue as she was found, the columns of hieroglyphs on the back, and clear details of the cartouches on the head dress. The photos of the team with the statue give a real sense of the excitement that greated the find.
