Aerial view of an Aswan obelisk transport ship. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins.
A barge sails on the Nile. Two obelisks stand lengthwise on the deck. The boat is made up of poles, cables and hatches. On the bow is a statue of Anubis. At the stern, figures man the steering shovels. At the bow, three other boats guide and tow the boat.
