The image shows a large stone carving of four seated statues of pharaohs. The statue on the left is the largest and most prominent. Each statue has a tall, ornate headdress and a long beard. They are carved into the side of a mountain. The statues are wearing collars and have their arms resting on their knees. The statues are surrounded by smaller carvings of people. There are people sitting and standing in front of and on top of the statues. The background is a desert landscape with a gray sky. The ground in front of the statues is sandy. The entire image is in shades of grey and beige. At the bottom, there is a line of text that reads "THE GREAT TEMPLE OF ABOO-SIMBLE, NUBIA".
