Description
The statue to which this head belongs now stands in the great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak. The inscriptions on the lower part show that it was carved for Amenmesse and usurped, after his short reign, by Seti II.
The features are reminiscent of the young Ramesses II, demonstrating the tendency of royal art in this period to emulate the style of the greatest king of the dynasty.
