In the Triad of Menkaure, King Menkaure is depicted in the foreground wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt. Hathor, the goddess of music and love, is shown to the right of Menkaure, holding his hand. To the left of Menkaure is the 17th Nome of Upper Egypt.
The Triad shows exquisite skill for an artist during the Old Kingdom. The features are wonderfully polished and vibrantly painted.
