Egypt
The Rosetta Stone is a stele inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. The decree has only minor differences between the three versions, making the Rosetta Stone key to deciphering the Egyptian scripts. Felted bottom to prevent surface marring. This hand cast replica is created by artisans in a Fair-Trade cooperative in Egypt.
3.5 x 2.5 x 0.50 inches
