I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said—"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . .Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
The remains of the statue were propped on a pedestal, a large slab of rock that usually bears an inscription about the origin and purpose of the statue. 
 “pedestal” also suggests the Pharaoh’s elevated vision of himself.  As one commentator neatly says ‘Ozy. is on his high horse …’
