Group statue of Pepi and Ra-shepses

 Group statue of Pepi and Ra-shepses
 LIMESTONE
 GIZA NECROPOLIS

The large, dominant figure in the centre of this group statue is that of Pepi. She is embracing her slightly smaller husband in a gesture which is quite common in group statues. Her son is standing on her other side, represented nude and wearing the sidelock which is typical for children. He has his arm around her back. The high artistic quality of the group is apparent from the well-preserved face of the man.
