Los dioses Ra-Horajty (derecha) y Atum, muy deteriorado, identificado por su inscripción jeroglífica (izquierda), son adorados por la propietaria de la estela, Taherud.
Entre los dioses y la difunta, figura, a modo de ofrenda, una flor de loto abierta. Curiosamente, entre la abundante documentación legada por los antiguos egipcios no se ha podido documentar algo similar a una receta para fabricar perfume de loto; parece ser que su perfume era disfrutado comúnmente “al natural”, tal y como se percibe en esta representación. Respecto a la representación iconográfica de Ra-Horajty, cabeza de halcón y disco solar con la diosa uadyet (la diosa cobra), señalar que es una asimilación de los dioses Ra y Horus. Más que un nuevo dios podemos considerarlo un sincretismo de estos dos dioses con un propósito de manifestar unas características o manifestaciones particulares de los mismos: el sol en su cenit, en su momento de mayor vigor.

The gods Re-Horajty (right) and Atum, very deteriorated, identified by their hieroglyphic inscription (left), are worshipped by the owner of the stele, Taherud.
Among the gods and the deceased, there is an open lotus flower as an offering. Interestingly, among the abundant documentation bequeathed by the ancient Egyptians, it has not been possible to document anything similar to a recipe for making lotus perfume; it seems that its perfume was commonly enjoyed "au naturel", as can be seen in this representation. With regard to the iconographic representation of Re-Horajty, head of a hawk and solar disk with the goddess uadyet (the cobra goddess), it should be noted that this is an assimilation of the gods Ra and Horus, more as a manifestation or title, not so much as a new deity.
