This stunning Stele, hailing from the ancient Egyptian civilization, showcases the intricate artistry and rich history of the Old Kingdom's 5th Dynasty, around 2400 BC. Discovered at Saqqara, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, Germany. The Stele of Methethi and his son Ihy is a testament to the advanced artistic and hieroglyphic skills of the ancient Egyptians. The relief is meticulously incised with hieroglyphic writing, depicting Methethi, a man of importance during this era, holding a sceptre, and his son Ihy.
