This stela, dating back to 1213 BC, depicts the sculptor Qen worshipping Amenhotep I and Ahmose Nefertari. The stela features hieroglyphs and a scene of Qen kneeling and presenting offerings to the seated royal couple. This type of funerary stela was common in Ancient Egypt, serving as a way to commemorate the deceased and ensure their passage into the afterlife. The vibrant colors and detailed figures are characteristic of the artistic style of the New Kingdom period.
