Lintel

The limestone lintel, which contains two of the names of King Seti I, is crowned by torus molding and a cavetto cornice. The winged sun disk extends across the upper register and is flanked on either side by hieroglyphs identifying it as the “Behdetite,” an epithet meaning “the one from Edfu” and that associates the winged disk to Horus. Below, a single line of inscription—read symmetrically from the center beginning with the hieroglyph ankh—provides the titulary of King Seti I: (center to the right) May the Son of Re, SETY-MERENPTAH, beloved of Mut, live; (center to the left) may the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, MENMAATRE, beloved of Amun, live.
