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.
