The back reads: "The first calendar in the world found at "Dandara" temple in Luxur Upper Egypt. Looking at the piece. We see the four directions, or cardinal points being represented by double imaged "Horas" god of sky & protection. Also we see four figures of "Isis" goddess of love representing the four seasons, all together they makeup 12, to stand for the 12 months of a year. Their arms are to shape 24 hours a day and inside it, we see the round year shape to contain the very same star signs we use up to this minute. The piece was transferred to the Louvre in Paris years ago."
The artwork is professionally framed.
