Aerial view of the Qaou el Kebir necropolis. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
Three funerary complexes are set between a rocky plateau and the Nile. These are the funerary temples of monarchs Ouahka I, Ibi and Ouahka II. For each of them, a reception temple is located on the river’s edge. An ascending causeway leads to a first low courtyard. A staircase leads to a portico that opens onto an upper courtyard, which then serves the various burial chambers.
