From info card: "As part of the burial equipment, funerary stelae made a prayer for offerings for the maintenance of the deceased..." That's all I captured of the info card. Certainly 'maintenance of the deceased' has been the theme through out the centuries. But this stela reveals a great change in religious thought. The same bright colors are used in the late period stela as compared to those of earlier periods: Stela of Dedu and Sitsobek, Middle Kingdom But the theme has changed considerably. Rather than a simple scene of a well-provisioned table for the deceased, we have intimations of a judgment scene. Fortunately the 'lady of the house' has passed her judgment, and she is now being led by Thoth to meet Osiris, the god of the dead, and Isis.
