The Paser Stela in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo (CG 34038)
Abstract
This paper presents a stela from the Cairo Egyptian Museum (CG 34038). It is a limestone monument from Abydos and belongs to the round-topped style, which means that its upper part is rounded. The monument shows a good general preservation state, although the hieroglyphic inscription is damaged in its upper section. The stela –dated to the Eighteen Dynasty (Dynasty XVIII) of the New Kingdom– depicts three individuals next to an offering table, along with offering formula texts. This paper includes the transcription, transliteration, and translation of the text, together with comments about its content.Downloads
