Giovanni Battista Belzoni was an Italian explorer and archaeologist, born in Padua (Padova). In 1803 he was working in England as a circus strong man, and exhibiting models of hydraulic engines. In 1815 he went to Cairo to try and sell his hydraulic engines to Muhammad 'Ali Pasha, and within two years had begun a new career, excavating Egyptian tombs and temples.
Psammuthis was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the Twenty-ninth Dynasty during 393 BC.
The plate shows figures large as life, on the pillars in the sideboard-room, in the Tomb of Psammuthis.
