Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
About the Artwork
Reproduction of a Dynasty 18 stela found in a private home in Amarna depicting the heretical king Akhenaten and his family worshipping the sun god Aten.
Akhenaten and his wife Queen Nefertiti are shown seated on cushioned stools bearing the sema-tawy symbol. Between them stands their eldest daughter, Meritaten and the younger daughters Meketaten and Ankhesenpaaten sit on Nefertiti’s lap. Above the royal family is the red disk of the sun god Aten, whose rays reach out towards the family and end in hands holding Ankhs, the symbol of life.
