About the Artwork
Reproduction stone stela from Abydos made in c. 747-656 BC which enabled votive offerings to be given to the deceased spirit of a woman called Inamun Nayesnebu.
Inamun stands beneath the text wearing a fine linen dress and her natural hair fastened with a band. Before her is an offering table laden with bread, fowl, oxen and lotus flowers, upon which she is pouring a libation from a small bottle. The offerings are being given to the mummified human-headed god Osiris, who holds a flail and a sceptre and is wearing his distinctive plumed headdress.
