Beautiful silk scarf featuring text inspired by the Rosetta Stone.
The design of this black silk scarf shows sections of the three different scripts in contrasting white. Individual letters are picked out in bright silver, which brings the text to life.
Soldiers in Napoleon’s army discovered the Rosetta Stone in 1799 while digging the foundations of an addition to a fort near the town of el-Rashid (Rosetta), Egypt. Exhibited in the British Museum since 1802, the Rosetta Stone was the key to unlocking the ability to read and translate ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Stone contains the same decree in three different scripts, and scholars were able to use the Greek and Egyptian Demotic sections to decipher the ancient hieroglyphs. The text contains a decree passed by priests in 196 BC to honour King Ptolemy V for his services to Egypt.
An enchanting gift for a lover of ancient Egyptian history.
