Funerary Stela from Abydos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2008

Funerary Stela from Abydos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2008
Funerary Stela
1st century BC- 4th century AD
From Abydos
Limestone

Accession # 20.2.43

In the uppermost register of the stela, Anubis presents the deceased to Osiris. Below are the two mourning goddesses Isis and Nephthys. Although crudely executed, the plain silhouetted forms and overlarge heads convey the subject matter with considerable impact.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
