Abstract

This article is devoted to the study and publication of the funerary stela of the female singer TAwty- nDm, which was discovered in 2008 in Heliopolis near the tomb of Panehsi.It is currently preserved in Arab El-Hisn magazine at El-Matariya under the registration No. 4008. There are no traces of colours on the stela, despite it being in good state of preservation; As some details in the figures have not been executed, it is considered to be unfinished. The decoration of the stela is composed of two registers separated by a horizontal line; it shows the owner of the stela Tjauty- nedjem and other individuals worshipping the gods Osiris and Mr-Wr who were worshipped in Heliopolis mostly. It dates to the Ramesside period.
