Description: | Limestone stela with traces of original paint; cracked, piece about 7 3/4 missing from lower right hand corner; bound with iron. The hieroglyphic inscriptions identify the owner as Djeserka, a doorkeeper of the Amun temple at Thebes. He is shown upper left facing the gods Osiris and Anubis; below are depicted members of his family - his wife the lady of the house Mutef-..., his beloved son Khons, his daughter Hatsheps, and his sons Huy, Samut, Neh and daughter Takha(t). Below is the formula for offerings invoking Amun-Ra and Osiris. The name of the god Amun has been erased, presumably in the Amarna Period. The stela was presented to the Curtis Museum, Alton in 1896 by Reverend F.Howlett, and purchased by University College in 1950. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Middle Dynasty 18; start=-1479; end=-1390 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
