EA 552

Pilaster from the Saqqara tomb of Horemheb. This pilaster was one of a pair, probably set up in the second courtyard of Horemheb's tomb. The relief carving shows Horemheb with his arms raised in adoration; above him is a hymn to the rising sun. The figure of Horemheb faced east, towards the dawn. On both pilasters, a royal uraeus-cobra was added to Horemheb's brow when he later became king. Limestone. (British Museum)
