This alabaster statue of Pharaoh Pepi II (2284 - c. 2216 BCE) and his mother, is one of the more famous representations of the two because the statue technically has two “front” sides. By placing Pepi II and his mother in opposite directions, it creates a multi-view statue. This is a very different statue style from other Old Kingdom art, and diverges from typical Egyptian styles in general. 6th Dynasty, Old Kingdom. (Brooklyn Museum)
