Colossal Sculpture Of Ramesses II

3D Model

A Colossus of Ramesses II carved in limestone around 10m in length and housed in the museum at Mit Rahina or ancient Memphis. This amazing piece of sculpture was found in 1820 by Giovanni Caviglia, near the south gate of the temple of Ptah near the larger colossus of Ramesses. The statue was donated by Mohammad Ali to the British Museum, but it proved hard to move.
