Head of King Userkaf

Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, ca. ca. 2498-2345 BC. From Sun temple of Userkaf, Abusir. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 90220

This head of King Userkaf was found in his Sun Temple dedicated by him to the god Re at Abusir. The royal head, wearing the Deshret or the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, is a striking example of the style marking the beginning of the 5th Dynasty.

When it was discovered, it was first attributed to the goddess Neith. However, the occurrence of a slim mustache on the upper lip proved that the head was a royal portrait of the king.
