Staff have been rushed off their feet since Jackson’s death as thousands of mourners visit the exhibition to pay tribute to the star.  The limestone statue has gaunt cheeks and - most strikingly - a tipless nose. It is on display at the Inside Ancient Egypt exhibition at The Field Museum in the United States. The bust was bought in Cairo in 1889 and has been on display at the museum for 21 years.  But its popularity has soared since Michael Jackson’s death after fans started writing about the ancient statue on internet blogs. The bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period, which ran between 1550 BC to 1050 BC.
