Statue of Nofret wearing a wig and bead necklace (detail). Painted limestone statue from Meidum, Egypt; 2620 BCE, Old Kingdom (4th dynasty); height: 1,18m She was part of the royal entourage of Pharaoh Snofru, King of the 4th dynasty, and held the title "one known to the king". Her husband was Prince Rahotep, who was High Priest of Re at Heliopolis, Director of Expeditions and Chief of Construction. The quality and beauty of this marvellously preserved seated statue of Nofret, along with a statue of Rahotep in the same style, found in 1871 in their brick mastaba at Meidum, confirms her high rank. It is not unlikely that it was created by highly skilled sculptors working for the royal ateliers. The face of the statue expresses the same solemness and self-assuredness as the royal statues of the same dynasty. The realism in this statue is increased by the glass inlaid eyes and its realistic size.
