Description
Red granite monument of Thutmose III: six figures, holding hands and facing outwards, are carved almost in the round from a central rectangular block of stone. At each end is a figure of Hathor, wearing a long braided wig surmounted by disk and horns, a bead collar and a long tight-fitting dress. One vertical column of inscription is incised above the right shoulder of each figure. On the sides are figures of the king and Montu-Ra. In each case the king wears a short gauffered skirt, with a girdle on which is incised in three vertical columns. Above the left shoulder of one figure is incised text in one vertical column, under the sky-sign. The same inscription is repeated in the reverse direction above the right shoulder of the other figure. The god, who is falcon-headed, wears a long braided wig, surmounted by a head-dress consisting of two plumes with disc and two uraei, a bead collar and a short gauffered skirt. Above the right shoulder of one figure is incised, in one vertical column. Above the left shoulder of the other figure is incised, in one vertical column.
