Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A limestone sunken-relief scene shows a military-ceremonial composition with a standing/armed male figure on the left crossing arms or a staff over a seated figure, and registers of Egyptian hieroglyphs to the right.
The image depicts a rectangular limestone panel carved in sunk relief with remnants of pigment. On the left, a male figure in Egyptian style wears a short kilt and is shown with a blue/gray-toned wig or headgear; he holds or rests a long staff/weapon-like element diagonally across his body. Below and near him, another figure is partially visible, including a seated or kneeling posture suggested by the lower body and arms. On the right, a second male figure stands facing inward and appears to hold an implement. Between and around the figures are vertical and horizontal columns of hieroglyphs filled with dark pigment. No clear cartouches or royal titles are distinctly readable at this resolution. Overall, the composition fits a New Kingdom temple/ritual relief format, but specific identification of Ramessesemperre cannot be confirmed from the visible text or cartouche shapes.
