The Russian-Italian mission has been conducting archaeological excavations of the temple complex at Abu Erteila (Sudan) since 2009. In recent years, two temples of different sizes have been discovered – the so-called main and small, belonging to the Meroitic period of the Kingdom of Kush.  The earlier analysis of the architectural details found near the main temple and the comparative analysis of its layout with similar temples of the same period allowed to make its general reconstruction, but there were still open questions about the details of the decoration of the general, internal and lateral passages of the temple.  Temples built with combined materials (mud brick, fired brick and sandstone), such as the temple at Abu Erteila, have been preserved in a severely damaged state and not all of them have been fully published or reconstructed. Therefore, this reconstruction was mainly based on the sandstone temples, the details of which are better preserved and which have been reconstructed.  The analysis of the shape, surfaces and plasters of the architectural details allows to ground some of them as belonging to the decoration of the general entrance to the temple and make conjecture about the location on the main (east) facade.  The general entrance features an architrave above the entrance, ending in a two-tiered cavetto cornice but without a crowning uraeus frieze; the corner elements of the cornice had a vertical rectangular incision, the only known analogue of which decorates the entrance to the lion temple at Musawarat as-Sufra. Although the ancient builders were guided in the details by sandstone constructions, the use of simpler materials (mud brick and fired brick) may still have imposed restrictions on the choice of decoration elements towards the simpler ones.
