Stela of the Temple–Servant of Amun, Irtihareru
Kushite Period–Saite Period
As part of the burial equipment, funerary stelae made a prayer for offerings for the maintenance of the deceased. In addition to forms of Osiris, Re-Harakhty and Atum—as the rising and setting sun and thus connected with continued life—are particularly favored focal gods. In contrast to stelae of the Third Intermediate Period, subdued coloring and a more standardized style are adopted in this period.
Here the temple-servant of Amun Irtihareru, son of the temple-servant of Amun Ankhnidi and the lady of the house Tatjenfi, adores Osiris on the right side and Atum on the left side.
