Statue représentant Nikarê, sa femme et sa fille

Old Kingdom

Probablement Saqqarah

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 103

Nikarê, officier en charge des greniers à céréales, a eu un rôle crucial dans l’économie sous le règne de Niuserre, ou par la suite. Deux des quatre statues provenant de son tombeau sont conservées au Metropolitan. L’une d’elles, en granit, le représente en scribe. Celle-ci montre Nikarê trônant fièrement, entouré de sa famille. Sa femme, Khuennub, est agenouillée à sa gauche, et sa fillette, Khuennebti, est debout à sa droite. Cette sculpture est remarquable par la finesse des détails anatomiques. Les traces de peinture qui subsistent la rendent encore plus vivante.
