close-up of a weathered sandstone statue, likely depicting a human figure, located in a field of dry grass and shrubs. The statue's upper torso and head are missing, but the lower half remains, with its body covered in intricate carvings and hieroglyphs. The inscription on the statue is partially obscured by the weathering, but two distinct cartouches, likely representing the name of the person depicted, are visible. The statue is located in a field of dry grass and shrubs, near a building in the distance. The background features a clear blue sky and the outline of a building. The coordinates 15.607, 32.508 place the location in the city of Khartoum, Sudan, and the statue may be part of an ancient cemetery or archaeological site. The image highlights the historical significance of the area and the weathering effects on the ancient sandstone statues.
