Rosetta Stone
Bookends: The
original Rosetta
Stone (c. 203 BC) is
one of the British
Museum's proudest
exhibits. Found at
Rosetta--now Rashid--
in the Nile Delta by
Napoleon's soldiers
in 1799, it contained
the key to the
deciphering of
hieroglyphics, the
language of the
ancient Egyptians. On
the stone are three
scripts: the bottom
section is in Greek;
the center in demotic
(popular script
originated in 700-600
BC and widely used
for the next thousand
years); and the top
in hieroglyphics.
Rosetta Stone
Bookends are an
adaptation sculpted
by our artists from
this ancient
masterpiece.
They are made from
crushed stone and
resin, soapstone
finish, intricate
details, 10"H x 7"L x
3.5"D each.
