| Abstract | ||
| This paper aims to publish and study a rounded – top funerary stela unearthed at the northern necropolis of Abydos in June 1860. The stela is displayed now in the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM 19860). The paper deals with the main description of the stela and the figures depicted on it in its different parts followed by a commentary on its Artistic lineaments. Furthermore, it aims to transcribe, transliterate, translate the texts displayed on its various parts as well as the names and titles carved on the different parts followed by a commentary on the titles, epithets, the orthographical features and the paleographical ones. The stela relates to a person named Sa-in-heret. On the basis of the Artistic style as well as the orthographic and paleographic lineaments, the author suggests an early Twelfth Dynasty date for that stela, particularly from the late reign of Senwesret I to Amenemhat II. | ||
