Abstract

A pseudo group is a group statue where the sculptor has repeated the same figure two times or more (sitting, standing, walking) wherein the majority there is no connection between the figures so that it is possible to cut the group into two or more complete sections. These figures can be royal or unroyal, they are almost identical where a slight difference can be noticed in the size, wig, facial features or in costume and sometimes in attitude. These pseudo groups are sometimes accompanied by one or more members of the family, whether a wife or a child. This paper aims at highlighting some examples of royal and non-royal Pseudo-group statues in the Old Kingdom representing the same person two times or more, their common gender, attitude, titles, their possible functions, similarities, and differences between royal and non-royal pseudogroups in the Old Kingdom. The study ends with the main conclusion.
