King Sahure and a Nome God
Dynasty 5, reigh of Sahure (ca. 2458- 2446 B.C.)
Gneiss
Rogers Fund, 1918 (18.2.4)
Sahure, the second pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty, sits on a throne, while, standing next to him, the smaller figure of the god of the Coptite- home (province) extends an ankh (the symbol of life). The God is named by the symbols carved above his head. Pharaoh’s names are located on the front of his seat; on the base are the remains of a speech by the god promising the monarch the good things of the South.
The statute may have been intended for the pharaoh’s pyramid complex at Abusir, following the model of King Menkaure of the previous dynasty in which an assemblage of such works represented the gathering of the country’s divinities around the pharaoh.
Alternatively, this could have been a gift to a temple in the Coptite nome.
The intimacy of the royal figure and the god is expressed through their similar appearance and the god’s quite gesture toward the king.
