The Statues of Rahotep and Nefert

The first thing that the statues of Rahotep and Nefert observe these two statues is their excellent condition. The pictures of the two characters Rahotep and Nefert are very well preserved and have only a small amount of detectable damage. Sitting on the left side, Rahotep maintains a noble and solemn atmosphere, and the king's son and high priest will undoubtedly enjoy this atmosphere throughout his life. His wife, Nefert, sat on a complex wig and headband, matching her gem, showing that her social position has improved.

The statues of Rahotep and Nefert are made of limestone and are one of the most accessible and popular sculptures in the Nile Valley, 120 cm high. The statue was carved from two rocks, then covered with a thin layer of plaster and coated. For sculptural swords, sculptural swords and stone materials will be used. Like most other sitting statues, the stones between their arms and their bodies are not clipped. This is intentional; it should convey a sense of force and prevent damage. These two characters also show positive attitude. This is a common attribute of most 3D Egyptian art. They are all facing straight ahead and they do not see each other or see their sides.

Rahotep and Nefert are about the same size and are sitting on the same backrest high chair with pedals. Rahotep was wearing a very ordinary short skirt and a small amulet around his neck. His hair was cut short and his face was thin with beards. Because the arms of the shoulder and muscles are wide, it is worth noting that the right arm is hugged in the chest when you place your left hand on the knee. In this respect he is like Jocel, but the arm held horizontally is out of date in the late 4th dynasty. The greatest contrast with Rahotep and his wife is the color of his skin. It is almost color of clay. In most limestone statues, my husband is drawn in a deeper color than my wife's skin. This may be because men spend less time outside than women. The ancient mural painting of Greek Thera in the Athens Archaeological Museum also has a similar style.
