Stele for the deceased Takhorenmut

Stele for the deceased Takhorenmut

In the round top of the stele is the solar disk with uraei. On the left is the god Harakhty, hawk-headed, sitting on a cubic throne placed on a dais, holding the heqat scepter and the nekhekh flail. On the right is the deceased, holding her hands up in adoration. Between the two figures is a tall stand on which a jug and lotus flowers are placed. Under the round top is a painted hieroglyphic inscription in seven columns.
