The Black Pyramid

- Altar

"The fourth wall features a series of wide steps mounting to a dais on which stands a statue, approximately twice life-size. It appears to be a man with the head of a long-beaked bird, and has been carved from some reddish coloured stone.

On either side, carved in bas-relief in the wall of the familiar black blocks, are representations of robed humans proffering empty bowls towards the statue. The one on the left is male, while that on the right is female."
