Abstract

Representations of the pharaohs in Egyptian statuary, known from the early dynasties to the Roman period had many functions: propagandistic, religious, didactic, commemorative, magical and decorative. Anthropomorphic representations of the ruler are most common, although his affinity to certain animals, particularly those that are zoomorphic incarnations of the most important gods, is frequently emphasized in various ways. The most popular type of statue showing the king as a syncretic, half- human and half - animal is the sphinx, combining the body of a reclining lion with the head of a pharaoh. This research aims at studying the artistic features of the sphinxes of king Ramesses II.
