Crafted from limestone, this ancient masterpiece belongs to the Egyptian 19th Dynasty and dates back to approximately 1279-1213 BC, a period known as the New Kingdom. Standing at a height of 18 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Louvre museum in Paris, France. Intricately carved with exquisite detail, this relief captures young Ramesses II deep in thought. His profile is highlighted by an elegant plait adorning his head while he sits in a pensive pose. The presence of hieroglyphics and symbols such as the uraeus and cartouche further enhance its historical significance.
