Title:
| Kneeling Man Presenting a Naos |
Description:
A kneeling man presenting a naos
(shrine) on which a ram's head
has been placed. The ram was the
animal of the god Amun, who is
invoked in inscriptions (Ramesside
era). Stone sculpture thus
immortalized that privileged
moment on a feast day when
believers carried images of the
god in procession. The devout
pass their arms around the
sculptures as a sign of
protection and hope for the
god's reciprocal benevolence and
solicitude.
