Fragment of Stela of Amenhotep the First

ALX-45-4-832_800x800[1].jpg

This fragment of a Stela of Amenhotep the First has a scene divided into two parts: On the right, King Amenhotep the First is shown sitting on the throne followed by his wife, Ahhotep the Second, in front of an offering table. They are receiving an offering from someone who seems to be the king himself.

In the other part of the scene, the divine couple, Amun and his consort Mut, is shown sitting to receive the two Nu vases from the king who stands behind the table.
