Old Kingdom, 4th Dynasty, ca. 2530-2500 BC.
Excavated by George Reisner, 1908
From Valley Temple of Menkaure in Giza.
This triad shows the king accompanied by Hathor and a Nome Goddess with the crouching jackal emblem of the nome of Cynopolis. Menkaure is wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt.
That is the most stunning thing I'll see in a while.
