An English archaeological team headed by “John Bundlebury” was working in this area, and their main goal was to search the ruins of the Temple of Aten for archaeological remains. A woman called “Hillary Waddington” was among the team, who drew her attention to a pottery crusher and turned her over to find this incomplete head. This was on the ninth From January of the year 1933 A.D.
 
This head was present in a workshop of an Egyptian sculptor called “Thutmose”.
