stela

Stela
This monument forms the bottom of a stela belonging to the "scribe accountant of the grain of Amun", Neferhotep. It is composed of double scenes, arranged as a diptych. In the right-hand scene, the deceased is seen standing in adoration before Re-Harakhty and his daughter Maat. The creator of the cosmos has a falcon's head surmounted by a solar disk. The <A HREF="God">goddess</A> Maat wears a feather in her hair, which represents her name in hieroglyphic writing. The le...ft-hand scene shows Neferhotep praying before Osiris who is accompanied by his wife Isis. The two scenes together symbolise the heavenly world and underworld, where the deceased hopes to continue earthly life.
