If you are referring to the bust sculpture of Queen Nefertiti what was made circa 1345 bc, then this was made out of limestone and coated in stucco which was then painted. It was created by the sculptor Thutmose. Limestone is a type of rock and was easily acquired in Ancient Egypt. It was one of their main building stones. Stucco is a type of plaster that coated the limestone protecting it.
