Dr. Mahmoud Afifi, head of the Egyptian Antiquities department, said “The discovered limestone statue base measures 21.7cm height and it is probably a part of a 70cm statue.”
The minister emphasised the importance of the discovery as there are only 2 statues of King “Sahure” one of them on display at the Metropolitan Museum in USA and the other one at the Egyptian museum in Tahrir.
