IntroductionThe objective of this article is to present the funerary stele of Ta-Khaa-En-Bastet, preserved at the Cincinnati Art Museum. The stela's registration number is 1947.392 and may have come from Abydos due to its images. The stele dates back to the late ancient Egyptian period, 664-332 BC. This funerary stele provides data on funerary practices and the responsibilities of women in ancient Egyptian society. Description of the SteleThe stele is considered a round-topped stele because the top is curved while the sides and bottom remain straight. It measures 33 cm high and 24 cm wide; its thickness is estimated at 2 to 3 cm. It was carved from limestone and has only a few traces of red and black pigment. The bodies of the Egyptian gods Horus and Thoth still bear the red pigment on their bodies as well as the solar disk of the uraei. The stele is surrounded by a border with a pattern that alternates between a large red bar and three small black bars. At the top are two-winged cobras called uraei (Capel, Markoe, Cincinnati Art Museum and Brooklyn Museum, 1996). There is also an inscription under the uraei. The center of the stele represents a woman, Ta-Khaa-En-Bastet, standing on the right and left venerating the Egyptian gods Horus and Thoth. The central scene also has two small inscriptions above Horus and Thoth. The bottom features three rows of hieroglyphics, which represent an offering prayer, details about Ta-Khaa-En-Bastet's family, and her title of "Mistress of the House" (Capel, Markoe, Cincinnati Art Museum and Brooklyn Museum , 1996, p. 166).Illustrations and textThe central scene of the funerary stele Ta-Khaa-En-Bastet is illustrated twice standing behind the god Horus, who is on the left......middle of paper ...... Tell us who Ta-Khaa-En-Bastet was and how she might have lived. She was part of or wanted to be affiliated with the cult of Osiris at Abydos. It was probably a bourgeois woman because she could have owned a funerary stele. She also took responsibility for her father's household, receiving the title "Mistress of the House". Stelae in general can reveal a lot about a society. They can reveal a person's religious belief, based on which god is depicted on the stele. They can give information about a military campaign that the pharaoh led successfully. Boundary stelae can provide an estimate of the size of a building or temple as well as where the Egyptian kingdom had occupied foreign territories. Stelae are an essential part of antiquity as they are capable of providing detailed information about past periods of ancient Egypt..
