Pyramid G2-a is the name of the satellite pyramid of Khafre. The structure was located on the south side of the main pyramid, along its centerline, and likely housed a statue dedicated to the king's ka. [1] The structure contains two descending passages: The first opened on the north side of the pyramid and terminated in a small chamber.
It depicts a mature man and was therefore likely made during the reign of Khafre (circa 2520–2494 BC). One of the earliest – and even after four and a half thousand years, still among the finest – true sculptured portraits, it is an almost unprecedented depiction of the unidealised features of an actual man.
