NKE-17 – Nubian Mercenary, Battle of Kadesh | John Jenkins Designs

The army of New Kingdom Egypt reflected the extensive territories and peoples with which the pharaohs interacted, and Nubian soldiers had a long and important association with Egyptian military service.

NKE-17 – Nubian Mercenary represents one of these warriors within the forces associated with the Battle of Kadesh.

Nubia lay to the south of Egypt along the Nile and was particularly renowned in Egyptian sources for its skilled archers. Nubian troops served Egyptian rulers in various periods, and soldiers from the south could form a valuable component of the pharaoh's military forces.

Including NKE-17 among the Egyptian ranks helps illustrate that Ramesses II's army was more varied than a formation consisting entirely of native Egyptian infantry and chariot crews.

Displayed alongside the other Nubian warriors, the figure can form a distinctive contingent supporting Ramesses' main army.

Available from The Military Workshop – a fascinating John Jenkins Designs warrior adding another dimension to the multinational forces represented at Kadesh.
