This is a statue of Ramese II as a small boy. It is sheer brilliance. Here, you see the boy with the sun disc over his head and holding a reed like plant. Well, the sun disc is called Ra and repressents the solar diety, the boy called Mis is below the sun disc and is gramatically the son of the sun disc, the plant is used as the hieroglyph Sw that translates to mean king. So, the statue literally means “the son of the Sun God Ra is the king” and also happens to be pronounced as Ra-Mis-Sw, or … Ramses!!!!! This is the phonetic, heiroglyphic, sybological representation of his name, title and place in the religion!!!
