Kertasi Temple

Kertasi Temple is a Roman-era temple complex located south of Kalabsha temple in the Aswan region of Egypt [1]. Like many Nubian monuments, it was relocated to higher ground following the creation of Lake Nasser after the construction of the High Aswan Dam [1]. The entrance is flanked by two columns with Hathor-headed capitals, while an architrave is supported by four columns—two connected with each other and two with a crossbeam [1]. The column capitals feature fine carvings of date palms and grape vines [1].
