About the Artwork

Reproduction of a Dynasty 19 stela dedicated to the deceased spirit of Neferrenpet, a sculptor from Dier el-Medina, the workman’s village c. 1279-1213 BC.

The inscription praises the healing power of the god Iah-Thoth, who is shown as an ibis-headed man, riding on the solar barque through the night sky. The god is being presented with a Wadjet, or Eye of Horus, by the baboon-form of Thoth, which represents the healing power and protection of the god.
