1. his royal linen headdress (similar to the one worn by the Sphinx).
2. he is wearing the royal artificial beard (even the female pharaoh
Hatshepsut is shown in her portraits wearing a beard).
3. he is sitting on the throne of Egypt which is decorated with powerful
looking lions and intertwined lotus and papyrus plants, symbols of a unified Egypt.
4. the falcon god, Horus (refer back to the Palette of Narmer) is
sitting on the back of Khafre's throne with his wings protectively around the king's neck.
This pose illustrates Khafre's close relationship with his fellow god.
