Estela de Mentuwoser

Middle Kingdom
ca. 1944 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 110
Os egípcios do Império Médio ergueram estelas em Abidos para participar eternamente por meio delas no festival anual de celebração da morte e ressurreição de Osiris (deus do mundo dos mortos). Esta estela, das mais belas que chegou até os nossos dias, foi comissionada no ano dezessete do reinado de Sesóstris I e ressaltava os serviços administrativos de Mentuwoser, sua honradez, seu sucesso na vida e sua caridade para com os pobres.
