Khnum Temple Isna.

Khnum Temple Isna

The decorations and inscriptions in the Temple of Khnum are frequently well executed and some are of special interest. There is a scene depicting the king netting wild fowl, said to represent inimical spirits, on the north wall that continues very ancient Egyptian themes. However, other depictions such as the king offering a laurel wreath to the gods, represented on a column at the rear of the hall, are decidedly new motifs. Decoration of the south wall was carved for Septimus Servus and his sons, Geta and Caracalla, depicting them before several divinities. The ceiling of the hypostyle shows Egyptian astronomical figures on the northern half and Roman signs of the zodiac on the southern half.
