This photograph, titled "Isis et Horus-Arsiési - Bas-relief du Temple de Kalabcheh (Talmis)", was taken in 1850 by the French photographer Maxime Du Camp. The image shows a bas-relief carving, a common form of Egyptian art, depicting the goddess Isis and her son Horus-Arsiési. The relief was originally found in the Temple of Kalabcheh, a structure located in Nubia, Egypt. Du Camp's photograph captures the intricate details of the carving, including the figures' clothing and the hieroglyphs surrounding them. The photograph is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
