The Name is Ramses, Ramses II – British Museum, Bloomsbury, London, England

Head and upper body of pink/grey granite monumental statue of Ramses II (one of a pair placed before the door of the Ramesseum) wearing nemes head-cloth and circlet of uraei (about half now lost), the sculptor has exploited the bichrome nature of the stone to emphasize the division between body and face; the dorsal pillar is inscribed with vertical registers of hieroglyphs giving the name and titles of the king and part of a dedication to Amun-Ra. In 1817 it was noted that there were traces of colour upon the statue and it may have, therefore, been painted red in antiquity.
