Scene of Rameses II, who was initially buried within tomb KV7 in the Valley of the Kings before being moved to the Deir el Bahri cache when the tomb robberies became a risk to his remains. He is shown in the classic 'smiting' scene where he holds a group of Egypt's enemies in submission. It dates to the 19th Dynasty and the cartouche is Ramesses' Prenomen and Nomen which says:
