Dating back to the 19th Dynasty under the reign of Ramses II, this intricate piece offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditional culture of Egyptian civilization. The stele depicts Isis and Neftis, two revered goddesses in Egyptian mythology, worshipping a fetish that symbolizes Osiris, one of their most significant gods. The attention to detail is astounding as every hieroglyph and engraving on the stele tells a story of devotion and reverence towards these divine beings.
