Statua di Neferefra

If very little of the body is visible, the high quality of the sculpture is evidenced by the care with which the head is made. From the chin was a false beard, now missing. The ruler is seated on the throne, in his hand he holds the hedj sceptre, on his forehead the hole must have held a uraeus serpent, he wears a pleated skirt, his head is protected by a falcon, a manifestation of the god Horus, resting on the nape of his neck, in its claws are two shen signs, a symbol of protection and stability. Painted pink limestone
