The female figure was the most common subject of the clay figures of the Predynastic age. Simple and smooth, the primitive totemic figures were often reduced to lumps of clay with only the female features in detail. Many of these statuettes must have represented the fertility or mother-goddess. Others may have represented loved ones, servants, or dancing women who accompany the deceased to the next life.

Sculpture
This figure of King Ny-user-ra wears a royal striped linen headdress and carries a mace—a symbol of power—in his right hand. His name means “the one who belongs to the god Ra.” Ra, one of the earliest and most powerful Egyptian gods, was associated with the sun. The sculpture was probably buried in the King’s tomb to serve as the repository for Ny-user-ra’s ka, or life force.
[Gallery label text, 2009]
The Memorial Art Gallery’s bust of an Egyptian king of the Old Kingdom was unidentified until Bernard Bothmer, a prominent Egyptologist, realized that the Gallery’s sculpture matched the lower part of a statue in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo. On the base of the Cairo portion, in front of the right foot, is a cartouche (see diagram) naming King Ny-user-ra, who ruled from 2390 to 2360 BCE. A plaster cast was made of this lower fragment and attached to the Gallery’s bust. The king wears a royal striped linen headdress and carries in his right hand a mace, a symbol of power. The red granite statue had been tossed into a refuse dump in ancient times at the Temple of Amon at Karnak, where this and other fragments were excavated in 1904. This is one of only two known portraits inscribed with Ny-user-ra’s name.

The inscription identifies this relief as belonging to the tomb of Maya, the son of Iwy and Werit. Maya, the Overseer of the Royal Treasury who served the pharaohs Tutankhamun, Aya and Horemhab, also supervised the preparation of the tombs of Tutankhamun and Ay in the Valley of the Kings. An inscription from another part of the tomb, now in Liverpool, England, tells us that Tutankhamun himself ordered Maya to journey from Aswan, a city in the south, to the shores of the Mediterranean. His instructions were to levy taxes in order to establish offerings for all the gods of Egypt.
In this relief, Maya is shown wearing an elaborate wig, the individual curls of which are tied at their ends. His facial features are distinctive, particularly his aquiline nose and strong chin. His accessories include two collars of disk beads that represent the “gold of honor.” Pharaohs of the period gave this type of collar to distinguished administrators as a reward for their service.
Richard Lepsius, a famous German Egyptologist, studied the tomb of Maya during the 1900s. He and his team published drawings that place the Gallery’s relief on the exterior south side of the entrance to the antechamber of the tomb.

Sculpture
This fragment of carved stone was once part of the decorative walls of a tomb for an Egyptian man called Metetu, who is pictured seated at the top left corner of the block. The hieroglyph signs in the top row of the fragment spell out his name and his position. They tell us that Metetu worked in the “great house,” or the king’s court, as a metalworker.
Tomb carvings from Metetu’s time used colorful scenes from daily life to illustrate the sources of the food offerings required by the dead. The bottom row of this fragment shows two men, identified as “guardians of the flock.” The man on the right holds the horn of a valuable long-horned cow, while the hieroglyphs around his head tell of “bringing the fattened calf” from the farm known as “Keth.”
