First Triad of Menkaure, from the Temple in the Valley of Menkaura, Giza (grey-green schist)

The king can be seen standing, the muscles of his body well defined, wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, a false beard, and a short kilt. His left leg strides forward, in the conventional manner. The goddess Hathor, to his right, holds his hand, identifiable by the cow’s horns and sun-disc that surmount her wig, and by the inscription below, which reads, ‘Hathor, Lady of the Sycamore Tree in all her places.’ To his left stands a personification of the Diospolis Parva Nome (district) of Egypt, herself identifiable by the standard above her head. Reign of Menkaura (2494-2472 BC)
