Pylon gateway at Medinet Haboo [Habu], 1857

Scope and Contents

155 x 230 mm. A view showing the massive gateway with sculptured hieroglyphics leading to an inner courtyard at Medinet Haboo, on the western bank of the Nile at Thebes.

The one now represented is, I believe, the third from the entrance.'
