The daughter of Rameses II and his famous wife Queen Nefertari, Merytamun (“She Whom Amun Loves”) lived in the 13th millennium BC, during the New Kingdom. Her father honored her greatly, rededicating a stunningly beautiful existing colossal statue of a queen to her. It is this statue, located in Akhmim, that is faithfully emulated here by Konouz. Although the colossal statue was originally made for a late 18th Dynasty queen, possibly Tey, the wife of King Ay, its rededication to Merytamun by Rameses II was a great honor, revealing his love for his dear daughter.
This piece is accompanied by Certificate A , issued by Konouz in collaboration with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. It confirms that the replica faithfully reproduces the original artifact at 1:1 scale , with careful attention to its form, surface treatment, and detail.
