Reverse description
A fleshless portrait of Pharaoh Ramesses II of Egypt. Designed to appear as if freshly snatched from a royal resting place, the field is adorned with astonishingly realistic cracks, chisel marks and faded hieroglyphs, as well as the Pharaoh’s name, which is the only text on the obverse.
