| This Egyptian Handmade Brass Plate is depicting the facade of the temple of RamsisII at Abu Simbel, Nubia (also known as The Greater Abu Simbel Temple). This plate is hand-etched and hand-painted by skilled Egyptian craftsmen.
The Abu Simbel Temple complex consists of two temples. The larger one is dedicated to Ra-Harakhty, Ptah and Amun, Egypt's three state deities of the time, and features four large statues of Ramesses II in the facade. The smaller temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor, personified by Nefertari, Ramesses's most beloved wife.
Known as the "Temple of Ramesses, beloved by Amun", the greater Abu Simbel temple was carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his wife queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate Egypt's southern neighbours, and also to reinforce the status of Egyptian religion in the region.
