Description: | Round-topped funerary stela, with lunette and two registers. There is a winged sun-disk across the top of the lunette, with two pendant uraei and an inscription between and on the right hand side. There is a sky-symbol above a scene depicted on the upper register. The scene depicts a female, Tasheritbastet, standing on the right hand side, wearing a long wig and fringed dress, adoring Osiris standing on a pedestal. Osiris is depicted mummiform, wearing the atef-crown, holding the ankh-was-djed-sceptre, with bandages hanging in front of him. Osiris is followed by Anubis who stands with one hand raised and the other pendant holding the ankh-symbol. Isis and Nephthys follow, both holding papyrus sceptres in one hand and ankh-symbols in the other. The lower register has seven lines of hieroglyphs, facing to the right, and one line of demotic. There is some damage to the lower register. Description Source: Birch, S. 1880. Catalogue of the Collection of Egyptian Antiquities at Alnwick Castle, London: R.
