Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
About the Artwork
Reproduction of the Stela of Kay dated to early Dynasty 12 (c. 1976-1912 BC), now in the Neues Museum, Berlin.
Picked out in raised relief is Kay, accompanied by an unnamed woman assumed to be his wife or mother Beshet, and five hunting dogs. The inscription is designed to give offerings to Kay for his afterlife and recounts his service to the king by patrolling the western oases and tracking down fugitives.
