KING DJOSER (HORUS
NETJERY-KHET)

  Identity:      Djoser, King
  Material:    Painted Limestone
  Period:       Old Kingdom, 3rd
Dynasty
  Reign:         Djoser

Dimensions:
  Height:       142 cm
  Width:         45.3 cm
   Length:       95.5 cm

     This statue is thought to be the
oldest, life size, sculpture known from
Egyptian antiquity. It was placed
inside a small closed room (so-called
"serdab") at the north eastern corner
of the Step Pyramid of king Djoser in
Sakkara, the earliest monumental
construction made of stone. Here the
statue became the dwelling of the
"ka" or guardian spirit of the king who
is represented seated on an elevated
throne with a high back. He could
thus hear the prayers, smell the
scent of incense and enjoy the
offerings. The king is shown wearing
the "nemes" headdress, a false
beard, and carries a scepter in his
right hand. His eyes which were once
inlaid with semi-precious stones
retain a straight look giving it a lifelike
effect. The inscription on the base of
the throne gives the royal Horus
name "Netjery-khet".

     This small statuette is important
