EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite limestone stele, dating back to the Ptolemaic Period of Egypt, around 332-30 BC, showcases a priestess named Takerseb making offerings to six deities. The intricately carved hieroglyphics and symbols depict the gods Osiris, Min, Horus, Anubis, Isis, and Metis, arranged from right to left. Each deity is shown in their respective divine forms, with Osiris as the mummified king of the underworld, Min as the god of fertility and sexuality, Horus as the falcon-headed god of the sky, Anubis as the jackal-headed god of embalming and mummification, Isis as the goddess of motherhood and magic, and Metis as the goddess of wisdom and prudence. The priestess, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, is shown making offerings to each deity, symbolizing the deep religious devotion and reverence for the gods that was a fundamental aspect of ancient Egyptian culture. This stele, now on display at the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, is a testament to the rich history and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
