Amenhotep II was the seventh king of the 18th Dynasty. He was a great warrior and sportsman, although ruled in peace for most of his reign. This ring was likely to have been given as a gift to one of his officials.
The revolving bezel on the ring names him:
'The good god, son of Amun, powerful lord, warrior, contending against hundreds of thousands, son of Re, Amenophis, golden god, ruler of Heliopolis.'
Gift of Joseph Mayer, 1867.
