Flayed view of the temple of the Siwa oracle. The drawing is in portrait format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The drawing shows the internal organization of the temple’s various rooms. It consists of three parts: a crypt on the left, the sanctuary with an L-shaped access gallery in the center, and an annex room with a pillar-supported ceiling on the right.
