Paneling from a niche and a lintel of Pa-nehesi (lintel)

19th/20th Dynasty, ca. 1315-1166 BC

The lintel and both jambs probably framed a niche for a statue in the tomb of Pa-nehesi. In the center at the top, a djed-pillar, the symbol of Osiris, is flanked by two recumbent jackals and wedjat eyes. Below, the standard-bearer Pa-nehesi and his wife kneel before OsirisWenen-nefer and Re-Horakhty. Here and on the jambs, Pa-nehesi carries standards.
