Statuette of Neferefre
The Statuette of Neferefre was found in several fragments by Czechoslovakian excavations in 1984–85 in the remains of the pyramid temple of the king Neferefre at Abusir. It was once about 34 cm high. The statuette is now on display in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo (JE 98171). Due to the good preservation of the face and the well preserved colours it is one of the most famous examples of Egyptian royal sculpture dating to the Old Kingdom.
