As ARCA reports: "The NYDA has seized a stele in the name of the head of the elders of the doorway to the Hathor Temple Pa-di-séna. As with the Golden coffin, we see the same list of names... Christophe Kunicki and a Luxor dealer named Habib Tawadros..". Here is the item on the gallery website:
Galerie Cybele - TEFAF: Stele in the name of the head of the elders of the doorway to the Hathor Temple Pa-di-séna:
Limestone
34.7 x 110 cm
Egypt, Late Period, 26th Dynasty, 664-525 BC
Galerie Cybele presents a large arched stele, carved in relief with a scene representing the owner Pa-di-séna, dressed in a short shendyt in front of a full table of offerings facing a trio comprising a mummified Osiris, followed by a falcon-headed Horus and Hathor.
Each of the deities is named by the columns of hieroglyphics located under the sky hieroglyph held by the Was sceptres. The scene sits on top of eight lines of hieroglyphs, the traditional formula for Osiris so that he grants a good burial in the necropolis at Pa-di-séna, with titles and filiation.
Provenance:
Collection Habib Tawadros; private collection, Germany, acquired in 1970
Literature:
S. Dhennin, Revue d’Égyptologie 63, Paris 2012, pp. 67-78, pl. V-VI
