Message:: [QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 181703, member: 44"]Agree, I have an identical one framed that was bought at the gift shop of the "Wonders Series: Ramses The Great Exhibition," Convention Center, Memphis, TN in 1987. Here is the description that was attached to it: "Ramesses on Chariot" "This is a war scene with Ramses ... in his chariot with his horses charging forward and he’s ready with his bow and arrow. There are many of such scenes from the Battle of Qadesh, which he fought with the Hittites. This was a great victory for him and so he had many carvings made on temples. After this. he had made a treaty with them and ensure this agreement by marrying two of the Hittite princesses. Rameses the second is most well known for his monumental construction." Believe in 1987 our daughter paid around $35.00 for it. It came framed. In 2006, just the the papyrus pic without frame were selling for around $10.00 on the web. --- Susan[/QUOTE]
