Stela of Osiris, Isis, and Anubis — This is a sandstone stela. In the upper part, there is a winged disk with pendent uraei above a mummy in a boat; a jackal is present on either side of the boat. In the middle of the stela, there is a waz sceptre on either edge. On the left side, The god Osiris is enthroned with goddess Isis, who stands behind. In front of Osiris, there is an offering table. On right side, the god Anubis presents a standing mummy of a deceased person. The Greek inscriptions are seen at the lower part of the stela; they read "[Pse?]nphmois son of Apollos" (another possible restoration of the name is Senphmois). From Koptos, Egypt. Roman Period, 30 BCE to 641 CE. The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, London (with thanks to The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, UCL).
