Description

Object Label: This head comes from a statue that was most likely made early in the reign of Ramesses II. When the head was complete, a side view of its features would have resembled those in the relief to the left in this case, with a similar aquiline nose, well-shaped eyes, a rather small mouth, and earlobes pierced for earrings. Caption: Fragmentary Head of A King, probably Ramesses II, ca. 1279–1213 B.C.E.. Gray granite, 7 11/16 x 6 7/8 x 9 1/16 in. (19.5 x 17.5 x 23.0 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Partial gift of James Lamb in honor of Paul O'Rourke and Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 2001.56. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)
