Bust of Ramses II – Historical Reproduction

This finely crafted bust depicts Ramses II (1279–1213 BC), known as Ramses the Great, one of Egypt’s most powerful and celebrated pharaohs. Wearing the nemes headdress crowned with the sacred uraeus (cobra) and the traditional royal beard, the bust captures the divine authority and majesty of a ruler who left an enduring mark on Egyptian history.

Historical Background

Ramses II ruled during the New Kingdom and is remembered as a warrior, builder, and diplomat. He led military campaigns against the Hittites, secured Egypt’s borders, and signed the world’s first known peace treaty.

His reign was marked by grand construction projects, including the temples at Abu Simbel and additions to the Karnak Temple complex. Colossal statues and busts of Ramses II were created across Egypt, celebrating his divine kingship and ensuring his eternal presence.

This modern replica is inspired by those masterpieces, capturing the strength and serenity of the pharaoh often called “the Great Ancestor.”
