Grupo estatuario de Nikare con su esposa e hija

Old Kingdom

Probablemente Saqqara

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 103

Nikare era un alto funcionario a cargo de los graneros, elemento crucial de la economía, durante el reinado de Niuserre o tal vez en una época posterior. Dos de las cuatro estatuas de su tumba que han llegado a nuestros días están en el Metropolitan. Una (de granito) lo representa como un escriba. En esta imagen Nikare aparece como un orgulloso padre de familia, con su esposa, Khuennub, arrodillada junto a su pierna izquierda y su hija, Khuennebti, de pie junto a su pierna derecha. Los detalles anatómicos están representados con delicadeza y los vestigios de pintura original acentúan el realismo de la imagen.
