Eternal Egypt: Naos of Nakht Amun

Curated by ACT

The text on this naos consists of prayers and praises to the sun god Re at sunrise (to the left), and at sunset (to the right). The owner Nakht-Amun is described as "the first born king's son" and "the priest at the front." The figure of Nakht-Amun is without legs as if he were kneeling inside the naos. The vertical column of inscription at the front of the kilt gives the title and name of the deceased.
