The Sacrifice to the Nile (1870s engraving)

---

A young woman, scantily clad except for a long diaphonous wedding veil, stands on a stone platform. She is barefoot, and chained by her ankles to a heavy rock; her hands are tied at her sides. She is to be thrown into the river Nile as a sacrifice! (or, she is chained and the rising water will drown her) (insert frantic piano music here!)
