Stela of King Psammetichos II

A winged solar disk with uraei (serpents) conforms to the lunette shape of the top of this stela. The wing on the left is unfinished and lacks the etched lines denoting feathers, which appear on the right wing. Below the winged disk are hieroglyphic inscriptions, and below these inscriptions is the main scene: King Psammetichos II (right, facing left), who wears the double crown, a broad collar, a kilt, and a ceremonial tail, offers the sound eye of Horus (the wedjet) to the goddess Bastet and her son Hor-hekenu. The king is called, “The Good God, the Lord of the Two Lands, Psamtek, [given] life eternally.” Between Psammetichos II and Bastet is one vertical column of hieroglyphs, and below them are two horizontal rows of hieroglyphs.
