Aerial view of the pyramid of Sesostris I under construction at Licht. 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.
In the center of the drawing are the first construction levels of the pyramid. On all four sides, the access ramps used to build the pyramid can be seen. Workers move along these ramps. One of them, visible in the lower right-hand section of the drawing, gives access to a landing for the supply of materials.
