Temple of Rameses II, Abydos
Western chapels dedicated to Amun-Re, Osiris and possibly Horus. A colourful relief of the goddess Hekat 'Mistress of Abydos', usually portrayed as a frog, but in this case showing her human face. On her left the god Anubis 'Lord of the Sacred Land' also has the head of a man rather than the usual jackal, probably the only known example of Anubis with a human head.
