The ilink comes up with an error message, so the image isn't accessible.

But try this: [archaeology-world.com]

From that, one might deduce that it was found in a sepulchral chamber at Meroe by Cailliaud (1787-1869) ...

But this - [www.sag-online.de] - states:

Quote

.... the University of Liverpool ... had carried out pioneering
excavations at Meroe between 1909 and 1914, under
the directorship of John Garstang (1874-1956). The
rendering was evidently a copy of a wall painting
found in the so-called Royal City, one of the major
districts of the site, where the expedition had focused
its operations.

But this site - [www.howandwhys.com] - (which I suspect is where you found the link that doesn't work for us) says "Caillaud" again .... (unless I'm misreading or misunderstanding something).

However, back to Garstang - [garstangmuseum.wordpress.com]

This - [archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk] - may be the most informative resource of all, but you might have to search quite hard to find what you want - and it doesn't look to me as if any of that material is digitised.

Good luck!
