Analysis of Traces of Colour on Rock Inscriptions

This inscription of Prince Khaemwaset on Sehel Island, dating to the reign of Amenhotep II, is grouped together with other inscriptions on a prominent boulder on the eastern hillside of Hussein Tagug. Even nowadays the red paint on the monumental figure's face, neck, and limbs is still clearly visible. © DAI Kairo // E. Wegner
