Stela of the God's-Father of Amun Pakeshi
Third Intermediate 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.
This stela was intended for Pakeshi, whose name would suggest he was a Kushite, and names the god’s-father of Amun, Nespautitawi, as his father. Pakeshi adores the god Osiris followed by the Four Sons of Horus, although the gods' name panels have not been filled in.
