| "The subject is Prince Merab, or Merhat, a son of King Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid. This plate represents Prince Merab surrounded by his kinsfolk, standing, with his staff in his right hand and the sceptre in the left. The tomb of Merab was discovered by the celebrated German Egyptologist Lepsius. The painted walls were taken to pieces and transported to Berlin, where they were deposited in one of the chambers of the New Museum." -Samuel Binion |
