Limestone head of Khafre

This limestone head of a king with inlaid eyes was discovered outside the valley temple of Khafre’s pyramid complex at Giza, and is thought to be a representation of Khafre himself.

The king wears the white crown, known as the “Hedjet” crown of Upper Egypt, and his eyes are lined with green. Green was a popular eyeliner choice in Old Kingdom and was known as “Udju” and made from malachite from the Sinai. The more famous black liner was called “Mesdemet” and made from ground lead sulfide or antimony sulfide

It appears the pupils of the king may be made from obsidian crystal, and the whites of the eyes, stone. Aside from the green which is easily noticeable, it appears that traces of pigment seemingly linger on what remains of the damaged bridge of the nose (reddish), and faint traces of a pencil moustache seem to be visible above the king’s top lip.
Moustaches were rather popular in Old Kingdom art, with king Menkaure among the men depicted with one of the same thin pencil style.

The head dates from the 4th Dynasty, c. 2520–2494 B.C., and is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

There is a statue very similar to this at the Egyptian Museum in Leipzig. However, this one depicts the king wearing the “Desheret” crown, or the red crown of Lower Egypt.
