ART-2030 Lecture Notes - Lecture 45: Khamerernebty Ii, Shendyt, Kilt
Document Summary
He had 6 known wifes, only one named. Khamerernebty ii, likely a statue of her. Nemes headdress - no stripes visible since they would have been painted on. Abbreviated form - would normally be crook and flail but would have stuck out from the statue so they made it just the handle. Later writers say he"s 5"2 and 359 lbs. His statue does not match that description. Statue depicts what how he sees himself in the afterlife. Very detailed kneecaps - egyptians liked detailing kneecaps more than any other part of the human body. Wife has mid calf length skirt, thin material. If it is khamerernebty, she"s from second wealthiest family, he"s older, poor economy, she"s figuratively and literally holding him up, because of her family. Wife hanging onto him, he"s holding her up. She"s probably holding him up because of her left foot being forward - active power. King always has left foot forward but so does she.
