| Comments on Object | British Museum: "Sycomore fig wood stela of Neshor: this round-topped stela consists of an upper register with two separate scenes and below five lines of text. At the top of the stela is a winged sun-disk with uraei. In the scene on the right of the upper register the deceased, Neshor, on the right worships Ra-Horakhty, while in a similar scene on the left he worships Atum. The text in the second register contains a prayer to Osiris on behalf of Neshor, son of Psšt and the lady Gbtyw. The stela is well preserved apart from a few cracks. The background is sandy white. There is a multi-coloured border of yellow, blue, red, and green rectangles separated by one black and two white stripes edged in black around the stela and between the registers and the scenes in the upper register. The sun-disk is red with yellow uraei. The tripartite wings are yellow with blue dots and a blue upper edge, blue stripes on the background, and black stripes edged in black. The human figure is red with a blue collar and kilt outlined in black on the background. Ra-Horakhty has a blue body, green sceptre, yellow upper garment, red disk with black uraeus and sandy white face and kilt outlined in black. Atum has a red body, blue collar, green sceptre, red and white crown with green curl, blue and sandy white kilt outlined in black. The text here and in the lower register is black. The background of the lines in the lower register is alternatively brown and sandy white between black lines. The back and sides are plastered." |
