The placard accompanying this sculpture indicates it is a replica cast from the original at the British Museum in London in 1935. "This cast of Seti II shows the King holding a shrine to the ram-headed god Amun."
The somewhat larger than life-sized work depicts the king sitting on a low seat holding the above-mentioned shrine." The sculpture seems to be made of some type of composite.

"Seti II (or Sethos II), was the fifth ruler of the Nineteenth dynasty of Egypt and reigned from c. 1200 BC to 1194 BC. His throne name, Userkheperure Setepenre, means "Powerful are the manifestations of Re, the chosen one of Re.' He was the son of Merneptah and Isetnofret II and sat on the throne during a period known for dynastic intrigue and short reigns, and his rule was no different. Seti II had to deal with many serious plots, most significantly being the accession of a rival king named Amenmesse, possibly a half brother, who seized control over Thebes and Nubia in Upper Egypt during his second to fourth regnal years."
