The Ramesses III prisoner tiles are a collection of Egyptian faience depicting prisoners of war, found in Ramesses III's palaces at Medinet Habu (adjacent to the Mortuary Temple at Medinet Habu) and Tell el-Yahudiyeh.[3] Large numbers of faience tiles have been found in these areas by sebakh-diggers since 1903;[4] the best known are those depicting foreign people or prisoners.[5] Many were found in excavated rubbish heaps.[4]
They are considered of significant historical and ethnographical interest, given the representation of neighbouring populations during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt (1189 BC–1077 BC).[6]
Most are in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.[4]
