Statue of Menkaure and Khamerernebty II
Greywacke statue of King Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty II. The last great pyramid builder on the Giza Plateau.
The two figures stand side-by-side, gazing into eternity. He represents the epitome of kingship and the ideal human male form. She is the ideal female. He wears the nemes on his head, a long artificial beard, and a wraparound kilt with central tab, all of which identify him as king.
From Giza, Menkaure Valley Temple, 1909. Old Kingdom, 4th Dynasty, ca. 2532-2503 BC. Now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 11.1738
