Colossal head of Amenhotep III
Colossal granite head of Amenhotep III. The statue wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. Ramesses II has taken over several of Amenhotep III´s statues, this is one of them. Ramses II also seems to have concentrated on changing the characteristic thick lips of the older statuary to thinner ones.
