Head of King Khafre. Giza; Fourth Dynasty, reign of Khafre (ca. 2520–2494 B.C.E.). Egyptian alabaster; H. 8 1/8 in. (20.5 cm). Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Harvard University–Museum of Fine Arts Expedition (21.351).

This face is broader than most representations of Khafre and the features are idealized and distant. Alabaster, often slightly translucent, sometimes with warm tones, was popular during the reigns of Khafre and Menkaure.
