Stela depicting Egyptian worshipers of Canaanite deities
Deir el-Medina, Egypt, 1300–1200 BCE, painted limestone
Egyptian Museum, Turin
This stela depicts the Egyptian scribe Ramose and his
wife Mutemuia kneeling, their hands raised toward
three deities depicted in the upper field: the Canaanite
nude goddess Qdeshet standing on a lion in the
center, the Canaanite god Reshef on the right, and the
Egyptian god Min-Amun-Re on the left. It belongs to
a popular group of Egyptian private stelae that feature
this divine triad and attests to the Egyptian adoption
of Canaanite gods.
