- Limestone Stela of Penamun, late 18th Dynasty
from Saqqara.
- In the upper register of this funerary stela, a
man named Penamun, his wife, and one of their sons present offerings to
the god Osiris, behind whom stands the goddess Isis. In the middle
register, Penamun and his wife sit before a table of offerings. Facing
them are a lector priest, a professional singer in an attitude of
mourning, and one of their daughters. In the bottom register another man
and his wife receive offerings from their children. The registers are
meant to suggest different realms of existence. The upper register is
the realm of the netherworld, the middle that of the tomb, and the
bottom that of the living.
