A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts the interior of a massive Egyptian temple in muted tans and browns. Thick columns with carved faces support lintels featuring a winged sun disk. In the lower half, sandy mounds partially submerge the architecture. On our left, two small figures climb a slope. Near the center, two others with light skin tones stand by stone steps leading into a dark hallway. Intricate carvings cover every stone surface.
