Summary

[edit]
Description

Stela of Tuthmosis IV, created in Egypt about 1279 to 1203 BC. Found at Deir el-Medina or Karnak, Thebes.

A stela is a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide. They were erected out in the open as a funerary monument or to commemorate important events.

This stela is of limestone. Pharaoh Tuthmosis IV, right, offers papyrus and lotus to the god Amun-Ra (in black, with crown) and to the deified queen Ahmose-Nefertari (behind him to the left). Ahmose-Nefertari was a favorite of the artisans who helped build and decorate the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

The man in the lower right, his arms raised in worship, is the person who commissioned this stela.
