Image description

statue of Khafre-The king is sitting on a lion-legged throne. He wears the nemes-headdress, with a uraeus at the forehead, a false beard and a short kilt. His left arm is placed on his left knee, while his right hand is on his right knee, clasped around a folded cloth – a symbol of authority. On each side of the throne can be seen the sema-tawy motif – representing the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. Although the statue looks to be of one person – King Khafre – it is, in fact, a triad. The king is Osiris in death, while the falcon at the back of his head is Horus; the throne upon which the king sits is the hieroglyphic symbol for Isis-diorite-4th dyn-Old Kingdom-Khafre's Valley Temple Giza-Ground floor-room 42-JE 10062 - CG 14-CEM 090608-018JE 10062 - CG 14-CEM 090608 - 018 cairo egyptian museum-statue of Khafre-diorite-4th dyn-Old Kingdom-Khafre's Valley Temple Giza-Ground floor-room 42-JE 10062 - CG 14-CEM 090608-018
