Aerial view of the Herakleopolis Magna temple. 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. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
A column-lined courtyard, visible in the lower part of the drawing, gives access to a sumptuously decorated portico that serves the covered rooms of the sanctuary. The building is set within an enclosure, visible in the background.
