The shape of the head is a typical attribute of the Amarna period, when the art changed under Akhenaton and became more curvaceous and life-loving (rather than death-obsessed). Here are some other images that show that her head is not atypical. I don't know why it looks like that: perhaps there was a disease.

Akhenaton and family, with the sun god (complete with little hands) in the middle. His daughter (of the bust of the story) must be one of those little children (above) and one of the daughters (below). I love the warm family image here; very different from the usual stiff, death- and ka-obsessed pharaohs.

And, of course, we need an image of his wife Nefertiti. Although she has a hat, she may have that oddly shaped head as well.
