Round-topped Stela of Wenenkhu
New Kingdom, Ramesside
Not on view
Wenenkhu and his son Penpakhenty worship the god Re-Harakhty as he crosses the sky in his barque. A similar stela in the British Museum depicts the father and the son adoring a similar image of the god, who is represented as a falcon headed deity. According to the inscriptions, both stelae were made by Wenenkhu.
The name Wenenkhu is rare among the villagers, and its attestations suggest that he worked there between year 2 and 40 of the reign of Ramesses II.
