Sandstone stela of Pharaoh Seti I

The pharaoh is shown on the right of the scene with one arm raised and the other holding an incense burner. In front of him are two altars on which rest water pots cooled by lotus flowers. Facing him are the gods Amun-Ra, Min-Kamutef and Isis. The hieroglyphs describe Seti I's decision to endow the temple at Buhen with offerings, priests and servants.

From Buhen

About 1310 B.C. (19th Dynasty))
