Sculpture of Khafre - art. This seated stone figure of Egyptian king Khafre, from the 2500s bc, was carved from a solid block of diorite, the hardest stone available at the time of the Old Kingdom in Egypt. The piece stands 165 cm (66 in) high and is an idealized representation of the king, with strong geometric lines and dramatic proportions. Giraudon/Art Resource, NY
