Menkaure and Wife is from the 4th dynasty (2548- 2530 BCE). It has commonly been believed that the position that occupies in the sculpture shows that she is subordinate to the pharaoh. Her more relaxed pose is exemplified by the fact that her left foot does not extend as far forward as Menkaure's. She is also less rigid in the arms.
