King Pepi II and his mother Ankhesenmeryre II

This statuette made from Egyptian alabaster depicts King Pepi II of the 6th Dynasty, sat upon his mother Ankhesenmeryre II’s lap. This iconography of a mother nursing her child symbolises the goddess Isis (𓊨𓏏𓆇𓁐) nursing her son Horus (ḥr.w).

What some may find peculiar about these Ancient Egyptian depictions of mother and child, is that often the child is not depicted as a baby, but instead a full-grown adult in miniature form.

Pepi II is depicted here, not with a side-lock plait (Ancient Egyptian hairstyle representing youth), but a nemes headdress with uraeus (royal insignia), telling us this statuette was created when the king was upon the throne and made to depict the king for eternity in such a way.

Old Kingdom, 6th Dynasty, ca. 2288-2224 or 2194 BC. Now in the Brooklyn Museum. 37.61E
