Ancient Egyptian kings would often alter older statues, replacing a previous pharaoh’s name with their own. Ramesses II, who reigned between 1279–1213 BC, would even rework the facial features of statues to resemble his own.
Both of these sculptures were modified during Ramesses’ reign. The figure on the left was made in about 1479–1425 BC. It almost certainly represents Thutmose III, but his name, once present on the belt, has been erased.
The head on the right was made between 1390–1352 BC, during the reign of Amenhotep III. It originally represented him, but a century later the face was reworked to look like Ramesses’ official portrait.

It would be great if you could state further details, such as material, size or approx. time frame of its creation. Unfortunately I am not able to see it live, so I would appreciate it a lot if the usual label would be reproduced in the text, too.

@srijit_007 The artifacts belong with the real egyptians, but where are they? Egypt was taken over by arabs, incase you don't know. Better to have them looked after by people who will appreciate them. Egyptian history is not arab history.

I love Egyptian artifacts. I deal on the reproduction side of these sort of amazing objects #aroundtheglobeatg

@yousuftarek not sure which comment you’re referring to, I was talking about collections around the world...
