Stela

STELA

This stela shows the owner, whose barely visible name appears to be Tarun(et), playing the tambourine before Hathor. The latter is seated on a dais decorated with vegetation and delicately coloured, like all of the stela, mainly in sombre blue and turquoise. The object can be dated to the 18th Dynasty on precise stylistic grounds.
