Aerial view of Kerma. The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The city lies in the middle of a plain, organized around an imposing sanctuary, the Western Deffufa. Nearby is a circular hut, the royal palace. In the foreground, numerous potters’ workshops and warehouses can be seen.
