Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Stèle funéraire du dessinateur divin Kbeperkaré-embat conservée au Musée des beaux-arts de Rennes en France.

Egypte antique, période du moyen empire. La stèle pourrait dater du règne d'Amenemhat Il, le successeur de Sésostris Ier (fin du XXe siècle ou début du XIXe siècle avant J.-C.). Bloc de calcaire de 61,5 x 29,5 x 10 cm. Don du docteur Godefroy au musée en 1871.

La stèle assure la mémoire d'un dessinateur représenté entouré de ses proches. Au registre supérieur de la stèle, il est représenté debout face à trois personnages, notamment sa femme ; les personnages représentés plus bas sont également des membres de sa famille. Les noms des personnages représentés imitent souvent ceux de pharaons de la XIIe dynastie.

The stele could have been deviced during the reign of Amenemhat II, the successor of Sesostris I (end of XXth century BC or beginning of XIXth century BC.) Limestone block. 61,5 x 29,5 x 10 centimeters. This was a gift of Dr Godefroy to the museum in 1871.

The names of the characters imitate those of pharaohs of the XIIth dynasty.
