Stele of Imen-hetep
19th Dynasty, reign of Seti I, 1314–1304 BC
The stele is typical of a type developed in the New Kingdom with a triangular upper termination that calls a pyramid to mind. An inscription surrounds the main decorated surface where the stele owner, presenting offering to deities, is shown with his family. The text includes prayers as well as the names and titles of the persons depicted.
