This ancient Egyptian stela, dating back to 663 BC, depicts a man offering incense to the god Re-Harakhty. The stylized imagery, characteristic of ancient Egyptian art, features the god as a falcon-headed human figure, seated on a throne. The offering scene is framed by the Eye of Horus, a symbol of protection and divine power. This stela, likely a funerary monument, would have been placed in a tomb to ensure the deceased's safe passage into the afterlife.
