Stela of Netjer-mose
Description
Object Label: The five female figures on this stela of a man named Netjer-mose are not identified clearly. The large, prominently placed figure seated beside him may represent his mother. The dominance of these female figures may explain the unusual depiction of four large storage vessels, possibly evoking wombs, across the bottom of this stela. Caption: Stela of Netjer-mose, ca. 1539–1425 B.C.E.. Limestone, 14 7/8 x 9 1/16 x 3 5/8in. (37.8 x 23 x 9.2cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 37.1351E. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)
