A lion overpowering a Nubian head, made from Egyptian Blue and gold, represents Ancient Egyptian supremacy and royal power from the reign of Ramesses II (1279–1213 B.C.). This ceremonial piece symbolizes the pharaoh's dominance over resource-rich Nubia, reinforcing Egypt's strength and military prowess. Serving as a powerful emblem of cultural superiority, it is currently displayed at the Met Museum in New York City.
