Naos stela with Pa-inmu and his father It, son of Pedise
Late Period, Saite
The priests Pa-inmu (viewer right) and his father It (left) are represented in high relief as if they were standing in the doorway of a naos or shrine. Their simple costumes, wigs and pose are modeled on Old Kingdom sculpture. The stela was made by Pa-inmu's son who was named It, after his grandfather. The woman Tabaket-en-ashakhit is named as the elder It's wife and Pa-inmu's mother.
The modeling of It's chest is subtly softer than that of his son.
