Description
This head of Userkaf was found in the Sun Temple dedicated by the king to the god Re at Abusir. The king wears the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. The features of the king are represented in such a very elegant and fine way that when the head was discovered the statue was believed to be of the goddess Neith of Sais. However, the existence of a fine mustache on the upper lip proved that the head was a king's portrait.

Cette tête d'Ouserkaf fut retrouvée dans le temple du soleil situé à Abousir. Le roi l'avait dédiée au dieu Rê. Ouserkaf porte la couronne rouge de la Basse Egypte. Les traits de son visage sont d'une telle finesse qu'au début, on crut que cette tête était celle de la déesse Neith de Saïs. Toutefois, une fine moustache sur la lèvre supérieure démontra qu'il s'agissait d'un portrait du roi Ouserkaf.
عثر على هذا الرأس لأوسر كاف في معبد الشمس الذي كرسه الملك للمعبود رع في أبو صير. وصور الملك وهو يرتدي التاج الأحمر لمصر السفلى. وصورت ملامح الملك على نحو أنيق ووجيه ودقيق؛ وعند اكتشافه اعتقد أنه تمثال للمعبودة نيث ربة سايس. ولكن وجود شارب رفيع فوق الشفة العليا أثبت أن الرأس كان تصويرا لوجه الملك أوسر كاف.
