Seti II - Pharaoh exhibit - Cleveland Museum of Art
Quartzite sandstone statue of Seti II, created in Egypt about 1200 to 1194 BC. Found in the Temple of Mut at Karnak, Thebes.
Seti is shown offering a shrine to the god Amun. The shrine itself is decorated with the ram's head, symbol of Amun. On Seti's brow is the uraeus, or rearing cobra -- which protects him. Between his legs is a bull's tail, a symbol of strength. The papyrus and lotus images on his throne symbolized Upper and Lower Egypt.
