content: Small stela carved in limestone with a significant flint or chert component, which then formed a patina on the surface. Such stelae are often painted on the surface, but no remnants are visible on this object. This is an object of personal piety, most likely from Deir el-Medina, the tomb workman's village for the Valley of the Kings, probably 19th or 20th Dyn.. Votive Stela represents the ram of Amun on the left and the alighting goose on the right. Lower register has private person adoring with hymn of worship. Dedicator's name, Pawab. Tablet includes praise for Amun as well as the petitioner's specific request - a typical way to transmit an individual's prayers to the gods for attention.
