Description | Round-topped stela with sunk relief decoration and incised texts. Two registers of decoration. In the upper register, the god Osiris sits in a shrine upon a throne, facing right. He holds a crook and flail in his hands, and wears an Atef crown. Before him is a lotus flower pointing upwards, upon which stand the Four Sons of Horus. Above Osiris is a short epigraph recording his name as "Osiris, Khentiamentiu, Great God, Lord of Busiris." To the right of Osiris is a standing male with shaved head and a long kilt, with arms raised in praise. Three columns of text above him record his name as "Wab Priest, Ptahmay, True of Voice." In the lower register are three kneeling figures, who all face left. At the left is a woman "The Chantress of Amun, Lady of the House, Nubemweskhet," who has a long wig, flowing garment, and funerary cone. Behind her to the left is her son Ramose, and a daughter whose name is lost. |
