The Rosetta Stone is a large, flat slab of dark basalt, measuring about 114 cm tall, 72 cm wide, and 28 cm thick. It features inscriptions in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics, with the hieroglyphs occupying the top section, the Demotic script in the middle, and Greek at the bottom. The stone's surface is somewhat weathered, and it has a distinctive irregular shape due to a break at the top. Its historical significance lies in its role in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
