stela Horus
Stela showing Horus on the crocodiles
Horus standing on the crocodiles: he appears standing, with the youth lock on the right side of his head, holding serpents in his hands and trampling on two crocodiles. On the back is an inscription consisting of five heavily damaged lines, which are practically illegible.
Pertenece a la colección del Padre Fco. Roque Martinez, párroco de Alejandría, quien la donó al MAN el 15 de Septiembre de 1930.

boat
Models of ships were placed in the tomb in order to enable the deceased to travel freely in the afterlife. Kings were even provided with genuine ships. We must not forget that ships were the principal means of transportation in ancient Egypt. Other models of ships depict the transportation of the mummy to the necropolis. The model shown here is a well-made model of a luxury travelling ship. The prow and stern rise up steeply and their extremities are shaped like lotus flowers. The cabin is an open kiosk where a married couple is sitting at a table laden with food. The ship's crew is now missing its oars, and it is possible that these figures do not originally belong to the model.

Relief with the head of a princess
Relief with the head of a princess
The style of this delicate relief is Ramesside. It may come from a depiction of a princess in a series of sons and daughters of the royal family making offerings. Such scenes are well-attested from the 19th Dynasty and from the 20th Dynasty on temple walls. The object in the woman's hand can barely be discerned on the left, but parallels suggest that this was a sistrum, the metal rattle shaken by chantresses in the cult. In this instance the recipient might be either the king, perhaps Ramses II, or the god Ptah, patron of the city where the block was found, Memphis (modern Mit Rahina).

Bas-relief, woman bringing food-offerings
Bas-relief, woman bringing food-offerings
Fragment of relief from the temple of king Nebhepetra Mentuhotep at Deir el-Bahari,
showing one of a series of women bearing offerings, with columns of
hieroglyphic text.The inscription refers to temple offerings brought
from the 'estates of Upper [and Lower] Egypt' for the cult of the king;
the trace of a cartouche
behind the female figure may be from the king's name as part of the
name of an estate, in which case the woman would be a personification of
the place. The motif derives from Old Kingdom royal pyramid
temples, but the figure is in the provincial Theban style found before
the reunification of Egypt under Nebhepetra. This indicates that the
Theban court had adopted northern, Memphite art for the principal royal
building-project before the north had been incorporated into a reunited
Egypt.
