Fragment of a large statue in red granite, of Ramesses II

Fragment of a large statue in red granite, of Ramesses II. Beside his face is a cartouche bearing his throne name. The block was re-used in approximately 1000BC in the temple of the cat goddess Bast, at Bubastis in the Delta. On the back of the fragment are the carved figures of priests in procession, probably used to decorate the great hall of the temple.
