An unpublished funerary stela of PA-sn-n-xnsw in the Egyptian museum (JE 99182 – SR 5/14988)

This paper aims to discuss and study an unpublished stela of pA-sn-n-xnsw which dates back to the reign of King Psamtik I the king of the Saite-period twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt (664–610 BC)(Shaw, 2003, p365). The stela is currently housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo with NO (JE 99182 – SR 5/14988), after a long journey outside of Egypt in Europe and America. Unfortunately, nothing is mentioned about its specific provenance in the archives of the Egyptian Museum. however, some evidence suggests that it perhaps came from Akhmim . This round-topped funerary stela is made of limestone and measures 131 cm long and 56.5 cm wide with a thickness of 13 cm . It is divided into 4 parts of scenes and reliefs separated by a thin sunken frame. According to a descriptive, analytical, and comparative method, the current research addresses the details of the stela artistically, linguistically and analytically.
