Glazed stone brick with a cartouche of Ramesses II

New Kingdom, Ramesside

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 122

Inscribed on the side with the throne name of Ramesses II in paste inlay, this brick of glazed faience may have been part of a foundation deposit. The remains of an oval depression on the top suggest that it might once have been inlaid with a larger cartouche of the king.
