Painted Limestone Statue of Nykara and His Family, 5th Dynasty.
 

This family statue depicts Nykara, whose title is Scribe of the Granary, seated between the two standing figures of his wife and son. If Nykara were shown standing, his dimensions are such that he would tower over the other two figures.
E Also, although the boy's nakedness, side-lock of hair, and finger-to-mouth gesture indicate that he is very young, he is depicted as the same height as his mother. These disproportions apparently resulted from the sculptor's desire to
show all three heads in a row.
