It almost looks like the small upper piece could be flipped and fitted to the bottom of the larger piece to complete the bust of the face.

:’) The famous Cleopatra was Cleopatra VIIth, so, at least six others, but mostly they didn’t rule. Cleopatra didn’t really rule either, she was put on the throne by Rome, part of the Roman pattern of setting up and supporting a client native ruler to eliminate a possible enemy on their border while minimizing their own troop commitment. Caesar prevailed using about half a legion, which is probably a record. :^)
That’s a good question though... Hatshepsut ruled in her own right, but legally was serving as a regent until Thutmose III came of age, and that’s what happened at first. She wound up dying, apparently of an infection from an absessed tooth, and he took over and apparently counted his regnal years from the time she’d taken over.
One earlier queen Sobeknerfu Neferusobek, closed out the 12th Dynasty, but I think her reign was short. Really short. Hmm, sez here four years.

” and the newly discovered artifact.”
It was owned by someone until 1936 (when he died) and given to Swansea in 1971.
What’s “new” about that?

” The fragments are less than 5cm thick and had clearly been removed from the wall of a temple or tomb, as can be seen from the cut marks on the back.”
Why would there be carving on the reverse side if it was part of a wall? Rejected alternate carving? Hidden message?

The old owner was of big pharma, he was probably too doped up to even know what he had.

In this case, I believe you are right. Thutmose III wasn’t very happy that his stepmother had usurped the throne and when he came to power ordered that every trace of her be obliterated. They were pretty through but at her temple they covered her wall carvings with his. A later earthquake knocked the addition down and hers were discovered in the rubble.
