Temple of Ramesses II, Abu Simbel

Antonio Beato

Cleveland Museum of Art

Large stone statues of four seated figures with headdresses and beards, carved into a cliff face. The figures are wearing traditional ancient Egyptian attire. The statues are colossal, with bodies seated on thrones and hands resting on knees. The two outer statues are smaller than the two central ones. The stone around the statues is weathered and cracked, with some broken pieces on the ground. The background is a flat stone wall with hieroglyphics carved into it. The photograph is in sepia tone.
