On the sides of the throne π“Š¨π“π“‰— β€œ3s.t” is carved the sema-tawy 𓋍, the knotted heraldic plants of Upper and Lower Egypt representing the union of the Two Lands 𓇾𓇾 β€œt3wy”. Dynastic continuity is expressed by the figures of his wife Nefertari (π“π“…π“„€π“‡‹π“π“‚‹π“­π“ˆ˜π“) β€œnfr-tΔ±Ν—-rΔ±Ν—-mrΔ±Ν—.t-mwt” β€˜Beautiful Companion, Beloved of Mut’ and his son Amunherkhepeshef on either side of his legs. The long reign of Ramesses lI (π“‡³π“€π“„Ÿπ“‹΄π“‡“) β€œrˁ-msi-sw” β€˜Him, Born of Ra’ probably witnessed a stylistic evolution of the royal portrait. The statue 𓂙𓏏𓏭𓀾 β€œαΈ«nty” probably belongs to the beginning of the reign of Ramesses I. In any case, it can be no later than the first half of the reign, due to the presence of Queen Nefertari, who died in year 30, This statue is one of the symbols of the @museoegizio In a letter that he wrote during his stay in Turin in 1824, Champollion describes with enthusiasm "the beauty and the admirable perfection of this colossal figure (….): for six whole months I have seen it every day, and always I have the impression of seeing it for the first time. The head is divine, the feet and hands are admirable, the body is voluptuous; I call it the Egyptian Apollo of the Belvedere... in short, I am in love with it”. Granodiorite.

Statue of a Ptolemaic Queen, perhaps Cleopatra VII The statue represents a Ptolemaic queen π“‡“π“ˆžπ“ β€œsw-hm.t” holding a cornucopia. Attributes and dress point to a date in the second or first century B.C., and one recent study notes that details of the queen's hairstyle suggest identification with Cleopatra VII.
