The Nefertiti Bust is a 3D work, and as you can see yourself, its scans are not available on Commons:

To be clear, I think the copyright claims are bullshit and it totally should be there, but Commons is very, very conservative in what it allows.

It's a rare scenario not generally considered by PD-Art on Commons. Commons isn't actually that conservative (except in that they demand the work be free in both its country of origin and the US). Commons has very few 3D models in general though not for copyright reasons.
