EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning stela, or funerary stele, dating back to the First Intermediate Period of ancient Egypt's 11th Dynasty, circa 2108-2055 BC, showcases the Pharaoh Intef II Wahankh in a reverent offering scene to the revered deities Ra and Hathor. The Pharaoh, depicted as a powerful and regal figure, is shown with an offering table laden with symbolic gifts, including a jar of milk and a vessel of beer, which were believed to be favored beverages of the gods. The intricately sculpted relief on the stela is a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the Egyptian artisans during this period. The hieroglyphic and hieratic inscriptions on the stela provide valuable historical and cultural insights, revealing the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Egyptians. The stela was discovered in Thebes, Upper Egypt, specifically at Dira Abu el-Naga, and is now proudly housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States. This exquisite artifact offers a unique perspective into the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt, a civilization that continues to captivate and inspire scholars and enthusiasts alike.
