A horizontally oriented sepia-toned lithograph depicts four stone figures seated on a bench within a recessed sanctuary. Facing forward, the figures rest hands on their thighs. The figure on our far left is damaged, while the two central figures wear tall crowns and the rightmost wears a large sun disk. Stone fragments lie on the floor before them. Carved hieroglyphs and wall reliefs decorate the background. Text identifies the site as "ABOO-SIMBEL."
