Pyramidion of Ramose

The limestone Pyramidion of Ramose, from the top of the tomb of the ‘Necropolis Scribe’. Scenes on all four sides depict the worship of the sun. Ramose of the 19th dynasty was an ancient Egyptian noble and high-ranking official during the reign of kings Seti I and Ramesses II.

Ramose served as a vizier, which was a prestigious administrative position in ancient Egypt. He is known for his tomb, which contains detailed reliefs depicting scenes from his life and various aspects of ancient Egyptian culture.

Stele of Maya

In the upper portion, Maya and his wife Tamit pay homage to Osiris and Hathor, the gods of the necropolis.

In the lower register is a similar, corresponding scene in which Maya and his wife receive food offerings, in their turn, from their many children, in keeping with a principle of reciprocity that is often found in Egyptian religious thought.

The funerary stele of Maya, the “scribe off the outlines”, arrived in Turin with the Drovetti collection in 1824. It was possibly discovered near the funerary chapel where Ernesto Schiaparelli was to excavate roughly 80 years later.

New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, ca. 1353-1292 BC. Tomb Chapel of Maya (TT338), Deir el-Medina, Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum of Turin. S. 7910

This stela at the Brooklyn Museum seems curiously unfinished; you’d expect an image of the person dedicating it, and some hieroglyphs as well. It’s made of slate, which I think is also a bit unusual. Probably dating to the Late Period or the Ptolemaic era, the stela depicts Set all by his lonesome.

Min of Coptos, God of Fruitfulness and Increase

While posture was always formal and stiff, faces, which were rarely individualized, exhibited serenity and calm. These characteristics constituted an aesthetic ideal for 3,000 years. Min, god of fertility and sexuality, was sometimes depicted wearing a crown made of feathers and holding a flail.
