Description: Scrapbook page including a photograph of sculptures of three Egyptian deities, annotated with a drawing of a cartouche and information debating the statues' origins.

Subjects: Egyptian (ancient) statue Egypt Gods--Egyptian

Page size: 33 x 38.1 cm

Annotations: Three monuments of green basalt. There seems to be some discrepancy here. If these three monuments found in tomb near Sakkara refer to Psametik the scribe of Nectanebus they are of the 30th Dynasty B.C. 378. If they refer to King Psamitick they belong to the 26 Dynasty B.C. 666. It seems to me that the lower line records the name of Psametichus I.
