Property of a London gentleman; part of his family collection since the 1970s. Stelae such as this were placed in a chapel above a tomb, usually in front of a statue of the deceased that was placed in a niche, and where the relatives came to offer food and drink and pray to the spirit of the dead person; the stelae also acted as a spiritual portal through which the soul of the deceased could pass to partake of the offerings left in the chapel. These stelae are inscribed with the name and title of the tomb owner along with prayers to Osiris; they generally depict the deceased, and members of their family, worshipping the gods. The act of mentioning the name of the deceased at regular funerary rituals was an integral part for the survival of the soul in the afterlife, as well as allow later generations to remember their lineage. As well as prayers and spells to help the deceased they also had 'autobiographies', which were accounts of the life of the deceased, praising their qualities as well as good deeds carried out when they were alive, thus furthering their chances in the afterlife. Fine condition.
