Temple of Abu Simbel

Robert Murray

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned photograph of a rock face with four large statues carved into it. The statues depict figures with elongated heads and bodies wearing short skirts. The figure on the left has a headpiece on top of its head, while the other figures have headpieces that resemble crowns. The statues are standing in recessed areas with intricate carvings on either side of them. The carvings appear to be hieroglyphics. The rock face is light brown in color, and there are some darker spots and lines visible on its surface. The bottom of the image shows some grass and dirt. The overall appearance of the image suggests that it is an ancient temple or monument. Temple of Abu Simbel by Robert Murray.
