Description: | Architectural fragment or stela. A sun disk is over the door with uraeus snakes protecting it. Horus, in hawk form, is immediately above the door wearing the double crown. To the left of him is a winged sundisc. Similar items have been found on domestic sites e.g. Hölscher, U. 1954. 'The Excavation of Medinet Habu -Volume V' p60 and plate 37. Those at Medinet Habu were found in debris thus their purpose was unknown. A similar example was also found in a house at Palmyria dating from 2nd-3rd century AD (Coptos : L'Egypte antique aux portes du désert - Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 3 février - 7 mai 2000. Paris - Réunion des musées nationaux ; Lyon : Musée des beaux-arts, 2000 page 137).
