On ascending the stairs after the vestibule, on the northern wall of 
the vestibule of the Egyptian Room is, 
The plaster cast, from the end of the north wall of the great edifice, of 
Rameses II. at Karnak, sculptured in cavo-rilievo, and representing Ra- 
meses vanquishing the Tahennu, one of the most northern enemies of 
Egypt. The monarch, of gigan tic proportions, wearing a casque upon his 
head, stands in his chariot, and has caught one of the chiefs of his ene- 
mies, represented of larger size, by a bow-string round the neck, while he 
stoops dowm and is about to decapitate him with the falchion which he 
holds in his right hand. The rest of the enemy are in flight, and 
many lie about dying or wounded. These people wear on their heads 
two feathers, and a cloak made of the skins of animals round their 
shoulders, or a kind of sash round the loins ; in some sculptures their 
eyes are blue, and their hair red. Their arms are bows and spears. 
Behind the monarch is a royal standard bearer. The hieroglyphics 
refer to the conquests of the monarch. This cast was made in Egypt 
by Mr. Bonomi, under the direction of Robert Hay, Esq. 
On the left hand side of the door of the entrance of the Northern 
Zoological Gallery is placed, 
A plaster cast of a subject on the tomb of Seti Menephtah I., or 
Sethos I. , king of the 18th or 19th dynasty, commonly called Belzoni’s 
tomb, in the Biban el Molook, at Thebes. It represents the monarch 
Sethos L, holding a crook and whip, introduced by the god Horus,
