This is the rating and price for Limestone Stele W/ Cartouche

Description : Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Ramesses II, ca. 1279 to 1213 BCE. A fine votive plaque of a small size, hand-carved from chalky-white limestone. The ovoid plaque boasts a relatively flat base with a semicircular top border, somewhat smooth peripheries, and a rough verso. The obverse displays a standing warrior figure on the right, his hands raised in reverence before the Pharaoh Ramesses II (also Rameses II, Ramesses the Great). The Pharaoh wears a folded skirt beneath striated armor (he is also known as the Warrior King), holds two small objects in his hands, and dons the white crown of Upper Egypt with a frontal uraeus. A small table with an alabastron rests in front of the pharaoh's legs, and the encircled pharaonic cartouche is incised above Ramesses' head. Faint traces of the original white and red-orange pigment used to accentuate the carved details are still visible and suggest this piece was at one time painted with bright colors.
