Description: | Fragment of mottled pink and brown granite obelisk of Irtyertja from reign of Nakhthorhebyt (Nectanebo II), found in the 1894 Petrie excavations at Quft (Koptos). The adjacent lower part was found in the Reinach excavations at Quft 1910-1911, and is preserved in Lyon Musee des Beaux Arts 1969 -199; it includes the name of the father of Irtyertja, Nesmin. Marc Gabolde identified the join, and has proposed the reconstruction as one of two obelisks in front of a statue of king Nakhthorhebyt as a falcon (on calcite base Louvre E11220, also from the Reinach excavations) in the southern sector of the Quft temple precinct. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 30; start=-380; end=-343 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
