Statue of My Son

One of my sons and his wife, Rahotep and Neferet, have been working on their Mastaba at Meidum, where my first pyramid is. He just sent me this magnificent statue to see!

Isn't it remarkable?! Rahotep is honored with being the high priest of Ra at Heliopolis, as well as the chief of my construction projects! 

These statues are made of plastered limestone, and are so detailed and life-like. I am so proud to say that the artisans of my royal court produced such a magnificent piece of art that will represent my son for all of eternity. 

They will be placed in their mastaba, and be a place where their souls can preside, as well as accept offerings. I love being able to take care of the people of my court and make sure that they also have a place for their eternal rest.
