Sekino's 1959 portrait of Nefertiti the 14th century (the Amarna period of Egypt) queen and wife (Great Royal Wife) and co-ruler with the pharaoh Akhenaten, Tutankhamun’s father. While Sekino was awarded a prize at the 2nd African Art Exhibition held in Cairo, Egypt, in 1957, it is unclear if he ever visited Egypt.
