| Re'hotpe 4th Dynasty
Re'hotpe was the son of Snofru
and served as high priest at Heliopolis. He was married
to Princess Nofret and was
buried with her in twin mastabas that were found near the
Meidum pyramid. Their famous limestone statues were found
in this tomb. The statues can now be found in the
Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This statue shows the two in a
seated position and looks very lifelike. The skills of
the artisans of this era is apparent in their work on
this statue. Shop
