Two Ramesside Stelae at The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM 9295 & 9444)

Abstract

Two funerary stelae, preserved in the Grand Egyptian Museum, are studied, both show the same individual named piAy. With their provenance unknown, their style allows to date to the 19 th and 20 th Dynasties. The first GEM 9295 with a pyramidion on top shows two main registers. The second GEM 9444 is a rounded-top stela with one large scene.The study includes transliteration, translation, and analysis of names and accompanying titles, as well a proposed reconstruction of the family tree of the owner of the first stelae.
