Cast of an architrave of King Khafre. Fibreglass-reinforced epoxy resin, paint. Probably made for the court of his pyramid temple at Giza. The court was surrounded by a series of doorways and wide piers. This architrave would have bridged two piers so that the horizontal cartouche of Khafre surmounted a doorway. It reads The King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Khafra, son of Re. Dated 4th dynasty, ca 2520-2494 BC.
