Bust of a granite statue of Ramesses II (r.c.1279-1213 BCE). Egypt, 19th dynasty. He is shown wearing the two crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing the king's control over the country; in his hands are the crook and the flail, which represent his power over his subject; and on his brow is the uraeus, the cobra snake ready to attack any who dare to oppose him. From the Temple of Khnum, the god of the Aswan cataract area, located at the south end of the island of Elephantine.
