1250 13th Dynasty Granite Khepresh Memphis
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning pink granite statue depicts the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II, a powerful ruler of the New Empire's 19th Dynasty, around 1290-1224 BC. The statue shows Ramses II as an old man, with a serene expression and a blue crown adorned with the falcon god Horus on his head, symbolizing his divine kingship. The intricate details of the statue reveal the advanced artistic skills of the Egyptian artisans during the 13th century BC. Ramses II is one of Egypt's most celebrated pharaohs, known for his military conquests and architectural achievements. He is depicted in various forms throughout Egypt, but this statue, discovered at the Mit Rahina Open Air Museum in Memphis, Egypt, is particularly noteworthy for its preservation and level of detail. The statue's pink granite material adds to its visual appeal and durability, making it a valuable piece of ancient Egyptian history. The Khepresh crown, with its distinctive blue color, is a symbol of the pharaoh's power and divine authority. The blue crown was often worn during ceremonial and religious events, representing the god Nile and the fertility of the land. This statue of Ramses II, with his aged appearance and regal attire, serves as a testament to the grandeur and rich history of ancient Egypt's New Kingdom era.
