Scene 3—At the Foot of an Angle of the Pyramid.
The Pyramid projects diagonally from L. front to R. C. and soars out of sight, giving the impression that the small portion seen of it is life-size. On the R. are a few palms. In the distance the solemn bulk of another Pyramid looms against the sky. It is night; the moon has not yet risen. The sky is of a deep purple, studded with countless stars. None of the details of the Pyramid can be seen—it is merely an overwhelming black angle.
Enter, R. Potiphar, Heru, Ani and Tamai, followed by a few Ethiopian Slaves, one of whom carries the burning coals in a cage-like vessel, while another bears the iron pincers.
