Abstract
[Ar] 
لوحه من تل حبوة-شمال سيناء                                                                                                                                            
  لوحة مستطيلة الشكل عثر عليها مصادفة فى أوائل عام 2020. وذلك على بعد 500 متر إلى الغرب من الجدران المحصنة لمدينة ثارو - حبوة 1 ، واللوحة من الحجر الجيري الابيض تم العثور عليها مكسورة الى قطعتين من المنتصف  ، وكانت فى حالة سيئة وتم ترميمها مبدئيا فى الموقع. ظهر اللوحة خشن به العديد من علامات الأزميل المحفورة. تم تزيين اللوحة  بنقوش غائرة. تمثل زخرفة اللوحة أحد العناصر الرئيسية التى تشير إلى صورة أسد راقد برأس كبش "criosphinx" مع حامل قرابين فى المقدمة. يمكن التعرف على الكبش على أنهOvis platyura aegyptiaca بناءً على القرون المنحنية للأمام. كبش بلاتيورا ، المخلوق المقدس البارز لآمون ، أصبح أحد أكثر الحيوانات قداسة فى مصر القديمة من خلال ارتباطه بالإله آمون ، الذي كان ، مثل آمون رع ، الإله البدائى والإله الأعلى للآلهة المصرية ، تاجه يرمز إلى السماء ، ويتكون من تاج يعلوه ريشتان مرتفعتان. لا يوجد نص على اللوحة ؛ يمكن تصنيفها على أنها لوحة نذرية ، وهى لا تحتوى على صورة الشخص الذى وهبها ولكن مثل عليها الاله فقط. ومن المرجح طبقا لما عثر عليه فى منطقة تل حبوة 1 انها تؤرخ بعصر الدولة الحديثة.

A rectangular stela was found in the vicinity of Tell Heboua I by accident in early 2020. The stela was uncovered 500 m to the west of the fortification walls of Heboua I, during a land reclamation project which is going on in the western vicinity of Tell Heboua I. Our well-trained guard, Hassan al-Masody, recognized the limestone slab on top of the embankment of a small drainage canal. When turning this recognizable piece of stone, he found it to be a decorated limestone stela. Inscribed materials that were discovered in the Heboua area are still limited compared to the long history of the site and the extensive and continuous archaeological work done. This is obviously due to the scarcity of stone in this sandy remote area. In addition, every piece of stone in the North Sinai archeological sites was taken from its original place and reused throughout history until now.
