The position of the arms in Egyptian paintings and sculptures is always symbolic or meaningful in some way. A king or queen shown approaching a god or goddess will often have hands raised as a mark of respect, but this is certainly not always the case. Often the king or queen holds some kind of emblem and/or a staff, making such a gesture impossible.
In other situations the arms are down, even though nothing is held in the hands. The ancient artists knew exactly what meaning was indicated by the arm positions, but much of that meaning is lost today.
