Miniature Stela of Ahmose
Second Intermediate Period–New Kingdom
This miniature stela depicts a woman named Ahmose and her husband, whose name, confusingly, was also Ahmose. Like its larger counterparts, the small piece features a pair of wedjat eyes flanking a shen-ring in its top section. Below is the seated couple holding lotus flowers, which are symbols of regeneration and rebirth. At the bottom are four lines of text with an offering formulae and giving the name of Kyky who donated the stela.
