Statuengruppe von Nikare mit Frau und Tochter

Old Kingdom

Wahrscheinlich Saqqara

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 103

Der Getreidebeamte Nikare war zur Regentschaft Niuserres oder später in einen wichtigen Teil der Wirtschaft eingebunden. Zwei der vier erhaltenen Statuen aus seinem Grab befinden sich im Metropolitan. Eine (aus Granit) zeigt ihn als Schreiber. Auf der hier abgebildeten wird er als stolzes Familienoberhaupt präsentiert. Seine Frau Khuennub kniet zu seinem linken Bein, seine junge Tochter Khuennebti steht neben dem rechten. Die Gravierung ist aufgrund der vielen Einzelheiten bemerkenswert und die Spuren der Originalfarbe machen das Bild noch lebendiger.
