Un Monument D'Originalité *

Abstract

First publication of a private statue of a kneeling man named Pairkap, son of Ankhef(en)khonsu and Khausuenaset. The monument probably dates of the Twenty-ninth Dynasty and comes from the great temple of Bubastis where its owner held two priesthoods: it-ntr imy hrw.f and ḥry sštȝ Sḫt-ntr. In addition to a wish for its remaining in position, this statue bears a very original appeal to the priests with allusions to local religious conceptions, especially those concerning the dangerous aspect of the mistress of the city.
