Statue of Ranefer

Statue of Ranefer


A statue of a young Ranefer handsome, athletic and muscular, wearing a loincloth tied at the waist and a simple short wig. And 'represented in the traditional pose, advancing with the left leg forward, hands at his side holding two cylinders, with a straight face and a look that looks into the distance beyond earthly life.

This magnificent statue was found with another statue for him, almost identical, two niches in the chapel at his tomb at Saqqara. And it shows in the color of youth and the other in old age.

Ranefer was the high priest of Ptah at Memphis, and Soker, was also responsible for supervising the artists and artisans of the royal workshops.
