Pepy on his mothers lap
Sixth Dynasty, Old Kingdom, Egypt

Pepi is said to have lived for about a hundred years, and spent 94 of them being the pharoah of Egypt. His reign is said to have lasted from 2278 to 2184 BCE. This statue of him on the lap of his mother shows him already wearing the headgear of the pharaoh.

Awesome! I just finished my undergrad for studio arts and art history... I've been strongly considering going to graduate school for art history. I have been looking at Pitt's doctoral program, which sounds really exciting... I need to find more schools that have MA programs to apply to, though. That's the problem, lol, it's just difficult trying to find schools!

Anyhow, nice to meet you! Do you mind if I friend you? You post art, which is cool.... I generally post nonsense, but you are free to friend me back. :)
