The poem mentions "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone". To what do the legs belong?

The remains of a statue of the great king Ramses II stand in the desert, the only part of a much larger statue still existing. Ozymandias is the corrupted Greek version of the name of the actual Egyptian pharaoh, Ramses II.‘trunkless legs’ informs the reader of the statue’s lack of body and therefore lack of heart. Additionally, this may signify a lack of connection between his body and his brain. Ozymandias had presence, but no insight or intellect to recognise his limitations. The fact that it is made of stone could also refer to his lack of emotions and how cruel he was
