VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The stone carving presents us with a side profile view believed to represent Ramses II—one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs known for his extensive building programs across Egypt—and identified by accompanying hieroglyphics beside him (not visible here). Despite weathering over millennia which has smoothed away details from this limestone block, one can still discern regal features characteristic of royal portraiture during his reign: strong jawline, prominent nose bridge along with ceremonial headcloth called 'nemes'. This piece likely served either commemorative purposes within architectural structures built during his rule or functioned within temple complexes dedicated to worshiping Pharaonic lineage.
