| Description |
King Ramesses II (Acc. 1784) This head, from red granite, measures 50x55cm) and comes from a colossal statue of Ramesses II, who is shown wearing a god's 'tripartite' wig and long beard, the end of which has broken away. The hieroglyphs next to the king give one of his names and promise that he will be 'given life'. This statue was probably originally set up at the royal city built by Ramesses II in the Nile Delta, called Pi-Ramesses. Many of this city's monuments were moved by later kings when the royal residence shifted to the nearby city of Bubastis. This piece discovered in Bubastis, Lower Egypt (Tell Basta), and can be dated to Dynasty 19, the reign of Ramesses II (c. 1279-1213 BC). It was donated to the Manchester Museum in 1887-9 by the Egypt Exploration Fund. |
