The sculpture from ancient Egyptian time shows a king and his queen standing aside of each other. In my opinion, I think that it is important to have someone at your side at all times that knows you better then anyone around. Loved ones can help give you advice and in this case help ruling over people. The artist of the sculpture, used great detail through out the sculpture. The kings left foot is out in front to show his power on ruling and has the queen in a slim fitting dress like to show her female dominates. This sculpture is a prime example of sculptures of kings during this time period in Egypt.

That's an interesting perspective. It's interesting to see that women in that day were significant, and for some reason or another later generations seem to have cordoned them off from leader-like positions. The fact that she has her hand around his waist as they stand I think furthers your point because it demonstrates a high level of comfort in being in that position.
