This statue depicts the 19th Dynasty Pharaoh Ramses II wearing a holy serpent crown and a Nimes turban. The statue was damaged by the time it was found, with the limbs and lower half missing. It is one of a pair of statues of Ramses originally located on the flank of the gate of the Temple of Lamesim, and the head of the other statue is still at the gate of the Temple of Lamesim. The statue was transported from Egypt to England in 1816 by the Italian explorer Giovanni Berzoni and acquired by the British Museum in 1821. It is now one of the representative artifacts of the British Museum, displayed in Hall 4.
