It was found by the expedition of the scientist “Pierre Montier” in Tanis or San el-Hajar in Sharkia Governorate in 1934. The statue was carved from grey granite, except for the face of the god Horon, who was carved from an independent part of limestone, and the statue dates back to the era of the nineteenth dynasty of the modern state. It is preserved now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
The statue depicts King Ramses II in the form of a naked child and puts his finger from the right hand in his mouth. The left-hand holds the sieves and takes a squatting position. Above his head, the sun disk with a side wig (braid or braid) that is distinguished by the loftiness of the people and a sacred cobra serpent tops his forehead, and behind him, the size of The great god Horon is in the form of a falcon, protecting the king with his wings.
This depiction resulted in the name of King Ramses II, meaning that the disk of the sun symbolizes the god (Ra) and the child in the ancient Egyptian language was called (Ms) and the plant (Sut), so when compiling the three elements we reach the name of the king “Ra miss Su”.
The artist showed his ingenuity in carving the details of the falcon’s wings with their harmonious feathers and strong claws with fine scales and its legs that appear as natural.
