Description | Small round-topped votive stela with a borderline, sunk relief decoration and incised texts. At the left stands the god Ptah, facing right, upon a plinth and inside a shrine. He holds a was-scepter, and has a tassel at his neck. Above his shrine is an epigraph "Ptah Lord of Truth." To the right is an offering table with a vessel and lotus. At the far right is the image of a standing male worshipper, whose arms are raised in praise. He has a shoulder-length wig, and wears a long kilt. Above him are three columns of text, recording his name and title: "Donated by the Soldier of the Residence, Khay." Below the groundline is a single line of text, reading from left to right: "[...Pta]h who hears the prayer, Lord of Heaven." |
