I know that some of my posts can get long winded. I want to give as much information as I can because some folks are not informed on all the posts on this site.
Many years ago I was at this Artifact auction and these two miniature Bronze statues came to the block. No one there knew what they were worth. So to buy them all I had to do was to get up front and do a dance number and sing a song! Or in other words I got them for a song and a dance! (just kidding). So for $5.00 I came home with them. I did some research and have posted as follows, information on King Ramses the second.
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN STATUES PHARAOH King Ramses II the Great Ramesses lived to be ninety-six years old, had over 200 wives and concubines, ninety-six sons and sixty daughters, most of whom he outlived. So long was his reign that all of his subjects, when he died, had been born knowing Ramesses as pharaoh and there was widespread panic that the world would end with the death of their king. He had his name and accomplishments inscribed from one end of Egypt to the other and there is virtually no ancient site in Egypt which does not make mention of Ramesses the Great
Pict 1 is a front view, #2 is the back and #3 is a photo I pulled from the internet to show more detail of what mine once had. On the rear side #2 there is some wood that these were attached to. The wood was preserved by the Bronze keaching into the wood. I highly value these miniature statues in my collection. Thanks for looking. Kim Ps I was Corrected. Not Ramses!
