Sesostris the Great, legendary Egyptian conqueror, led victorious armies as far as the foot of Mount Caucasus before being checked by the Colchians. Though his arms could not achieve the conquest of Arabia, his monuments and the memory of his campaigns would echo through centuries, even claimed by Goths as evidence of their ancestors' resistance to his might.
Description
An ancient Egyptian pharaoh of royal bearing, wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt adorned with the uraeus cobra. His dark bronze skin contrasts with white linen garments and gold ornaments, while the crook and flail he carries mark him as both shepherd and conqueror of his people.
