Stone lintel
Sandstone lintel, with winged sun disk and double uraei (cobra), frieze of uraei (cobras) along the top.
Sandstone lintel, probably from a door shrine or a chapel, decorated with the sun-disk and double cobra motif that is typical over the doors of Late Period to Roman Egyptian temples. This image protects. The two cobras with the disk wear the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt (left) and the so-called Atef crown (right). At the top is a row of conras wearing sun-disks, once again symbolising protection.
