Footnotes: A highly academic and unique piece, during this time when Ramses invaded part of Egypt an ethnic race was taken as slaves and prisoners, this highlights the rarity of the period for such an object. Not many objects have been known which express history of the Ramses Invasion and enslavement of the Nubian locals. This piece also expresses the victory of the invasion and the success, which is what makes it rather unique.
