| Description | Round-topped funerary stela. In the lunette is the winged sun-disk with 2 uraei. Below are two recumbent jackals facing each other, on shrines. Between the two jackals is a shen-symbol with 3 water ripples below, all set on a sky-symbol. The upper register shows Osiris seated on a block throne on a pedestal. Osiris is depicted mummiform, wearing the atef-crown and holding a heqa-sceptre and flail. Isis stands behind on a small pedestal with her right hand raised to protect Osiris. An offering table is in front of Osiris. On the right hand side of the scene is a shaven-headed man in a long kilt with hands raised in adoration to Osiris. The scene is framed by a column of hieroglyphs on the left and right hand sides, with other texts above the divinities and offering table. In the lower register is a hotep-di-nesw offering formula in three lines of hieroglyphs, facing to the right. |
