This relief sculpture is apparently a stele from the tomb of Pharoah Merenptah. Although the placard accompanying this piece explains that it depicts Merenptah who lived to be 96 years old, it does not explain anything about this work other than that it is a replica cast from the original held at "Staatliche Museum zu Berlin at mennptah's tomb in Boban el Moluk in Egypt."
