King menkaura appears to be the same height as his queen because it commands respect to her as an equal of the king. This is strange to other statues of kings with their queen because the king is generally depicted as dramatically larger in contrast to the queen. Both figures stand in traditional egytian pose, which is different than other Egyptian works which have the female figure in a less commanding pose. To contrast this stark uniformity, Akhenaton and Nefertiti are captured in a playful scene with their daughters. Not to mention the enormous shift of Egyptian style from king Menkaura to Akhenaton, specific things such as the style, garb and attitude of the figures in Akhenaton, Nefertiti and three daughters seems to be free of conformity.
