3519+a.jpg Flash

Votive stela of Taeshert. The lady is shown standing up, in adoration, dressed with a transparent robe, long wig and a perfume cone on her head. In front of her, the god Re Harakhty is sitting on a throne, over a depiction of the earthïsign. Between the two figures, there are two eyes that introduce an inscription, in six vertical lines, mentioning the lady and the gods Re Harakhty, Atum and Ptah Sokaris. Despite of being somewhat deteriorated, it preserves its original beauty in the coloring and in the careful and fine execution of the figures represented.
