Dear Aunt Maude, it’s been a long time from our last meetup, I still remember the fascinating world of ancient Egypt you have described to me. On last weekend, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of art that you’ve always wanted to go. I believe it is absolutely one of the largest art museums in the world. Artworks were placed in specific areas, I will definitely be lost in the museum if I forget to grab a map with me. When I walk into the area where all the ancient Egypt arts are located, one piece of artwork that catches my attention is the statue of King Sahure and a Nome God. According to the placard of King Sahure and a Nome God, the statue is from 2458-2446 B.C., which is the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The most obvious part of the statue was, as its name, King Sahure and a Nome…show more content… From my perspective, King Sahure is standing on the left side of the statue with his left foot in front of his right foot, also his left-hand stays naturally on the side of his body in a fist while he puts his right hand on the chair-like seat of the Nome God sitting next to him. Another thing to mention is that King Sahure stands a little behind the Nome God. The Nome God has a scale of one point five larger than King Sahure while he’s sitting down. His right hand is held in a fist and is laying on top of his right thigh. And his left hand is covered by a piece of textile. There are many similarities between King Sahure and the Nome God. They both wore a cultural headwear and a textile on the lower part of their body, have a long mustache to the chest on the face and a serious facial expression since their lips are closed and formed a straight line. In addition to that, they both have a well-built body because they have obvious muscles in the chest, arms, and legs. Also, there’s no interstice between King Sahure and the Nome God. To be more detail, it is hard to notice that there are two birds carved on the background above
