Ladies of Northern Sudan and a Egyptian princess of the 18th dynastic period. They will remind us that the statue of the young lady on the top left is a servant, because she does look black African (however, Egyptian as far as we know), but the princess looks more so on the right. It's strongly believed she was a child of Tiye.

Though labeled a "prince" on some sites (...?), a inscription reads... Princess, great of favour, Lady of the Two Shores, the Beloved, [2] the Desired, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt great of [3] splendour, the 'Holy Jewelry' , the great royal wife Tiye, may she live." Anyone can visually see this is a Young lady of the "black" persuasion

Fig. 5.3b – Boston 28.1: face of a dignitary (just saying he's a dignitary is kind of vague and "nebulous". Forces me to wonder if it's actually Senusret III or his son Amenenehat III in a more realistic and less stylized manor. Notice the faint stripes of the nemes head cloth.)

Statuette (wood, carnelian, gold, glass, Egyptian blue, and paint) of the lady Tiye. Artist unknown; ca. 1390-1349 BCE (reign of Amenhotep III or Akhenaten, 18th Dynasty, New Kingdom). Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Statuette of Lady Tjuyu The statuette of Tuy is carved from two species of wood that the Egyptians imported from the south - shea wood for the base, and African grenadilla for the lady herself. There are offering formulae on the back pillar and the base, dedicated to Osiris, Isis and “all the Gods who are in the West (necropolis)”. In the afterlife, Tuy was thus expected to enjoy the food and floral offerings adorning the front of the base. Tjuyu was an Egyptian noblewoman and the mother of queen Tiye, and the wife of Yuya. She is the grandmother of Akhenaten, and great grandmother of Tutankhamun. Tjuyu was a chantress of Min, and superior of his harem; she was thus an important person in Akhmim (the god’s cult center) and in Thebes (the capital city, where Min was associated with the dynastic god Amun). She is portrayed standing, with her left foot forward and her right arm by her side; the perforation in her right hand suggests that she once held an object, perhaps a floral scepter. With her left hand, she clasps a menat necklace (a tool of her office) between her breasts. The dedication to the great gods of the necropolis and the food offerings engraved on the base suggest that this statuette featured among the grave goods in Tuy’s tomb. The text and offerings guaranteed her survival and protection in the afterlife. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Amenhotep III, around 1375 BC. Now in the Louvre.
