Painted Funerary Stela, found in Thebes
New Kingdom
Dynasty 19
Retrieved from a private cemetery in Ramsium in Thebes, this funeral painted by Stella salutes the lady djed-khonsu-iw-es-ankh.
She appears in a brave white dress, wearing a fragrant cone and a water lily on her head.
She pours a drink over a table of food shows and raises her hand to greet God. The seats are my horror, a form of the sun god.
The hieroglyphic text is a prayer that requires the gods to provide food and drink in order for her soul to remain in the afterlife.
