The harpist's stele, LOUVRE Museum - a photo on Flickriver

            Third Intermediate Period, 1069-664 BC

The scene portraying the deceased in front of a deity is traditional, but the originality of the stele resides in the fact that the usual image of the deceased, standing with raised arms, was replaced by that of a harpist.

Its beautiful colours have been well-preserved.
