Luxor Carved Fish EG9620914JHP 
 Egypt Museum Luxor Inside Exhibit Photo Slab Fish Christian Motif was taken inside this modern building on the waterfront of the River Nile with its fascinating collection covering the extensive history of ancient Egypt including items from the Tomb of Tutankahum. This particular exhibit of sandstone an example of early Christian Coptic Art maybe 6th Century AD is in the museum proper and was taken in 1996 when you could pay to take photographs but not use a tripod, now not allowed at all, and I used Kodak 5042 Tungsten Slide film which still meant hand holding was at the extremes of useful photography in low light conditions.
