Of all the statuary of Egypt's Old Kingdom, and perhaps even of all of Egyptian dynastic history, there is no better or more beautiful a work as the pair statue of Menkaure (Menkaura, Mycerinus) and a women, whose identity is uncertain. This video, which includes an interview with Boston Museum of Fine Arts curator Lawrence Berman, takes a deep dive into the symbolism, craftmanship, and history behind the statue.
