Own a tribute to one of the most awe-inspiring architectural wonders of the ancient world.
This circular plaque is masterfully hand-carved from a solid piece of wood by our artisans in Luxor. Every detail of the Abu Simbel temple facade is brought to life, from the four colossal seated statues of Ramesses II to the smaller figures of his family and the intricate hieroglyphs. The piece is given an antique bronze-like finish, enhancing the depth of the carving and giving it a timeless, museum-quality feel.
The Great Temple at Abu Simbel was built by Pharaoh Ramesses II to be an everlasting monument to himself and his beloved queen, Nefertari. Carved directly into a mountainside in Nubia, its primary purpose was to intimidate Egypt’s southern neighbors and to celebrate the pharaoh’s victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The temple itself is an architectural marvel, aligned so that twice a year, the sun’s rays penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate the statues within.
This wall plaque is a powerful piece for any history enthusiast or lover of grand architecture. It serves as a stunning focal point, celebrating the ambition, power, and devotion of one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs.
