Description
An exceptional Egyptian stone statue representing Pharaoh Ramses II (Ramesses the Great), one of the most celebrated rulers in the history of Ancient Egypt.
The standing royal figure is presented in a commanding traditional pose, displaying an impressive combination of royal insignia, detailed dress and hieroglyphic decoration.
The face is framed by a carefully defined royal nemes-style headdress, with the uraeus prominently positioned above the forehead and a ceremonial false beard extending from the chin.
Above the royal headdress rises a monumental crown, dramatically increasing the height and visual presence of the figure.
The Pharaoh stands upright with both arms positioned alongside the body and the left leg advanced — one of the most recognisable conventions of Egyptian royal statuary.
A pleated royal kilt surrounds the waist, while hieroglyphic inscriptions decorate the base and the tall back pillar.
About Ramses II in Ancient Egypt
Ramses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, was one of the most famous pharaohs of Ancient Egypt and ruled during the 19th Dynasty.
His reign became associated with royal power, monumental architecture and extensive building programmes.
His name remains closely connected with some of Egypt\'s most celebrated monuments, including the great temples at Abu Simbel and major additions to temple complexes throughout Egypt.
Royal statues were an important expression of pharaonic authority. The king could be depicted with traditional symbols of kingship intended to communicate divine legitimacy, strength and permanence.
