Relief of the Theban Divine Family Third Intermediate PeriodThebes (Karnak), Egypt
Description
Object Label: The relief on the right depicts the God's Wife of Amun Amunirdis I, making an offering of Ma'at to the god Amun-Re. Behind Amun-Re stands Khonsu, his son by his chief consort Mut. These three divinities comprise the divine family of the Theban region. The relief on the left shows Amun-Re and Mut. Because the two scenes are comparable though reversed, it seems likely that Amun-Re and Mut faced another God's Wife of Amun. The shallow sunk relief and the treatment of the faces are typical of Twenty-fifth Dynasty reliefs found on the small chapels in Thebes. Catalogue description: Culture Egyptian Caption: Egyptian.
