Seth Fighting Apophis - a photo on Flickriver

            Rotterdam, Kunsthal, January 2012

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, as part of the exhibition Mummies!

Stela of Taqayna, who can be seen in the bottom right corner. The inscription in front of him reads: Giving praise to Re, kissing the earth before Nubty ("he from Nubt (Ombos)" = Seth), by Taqayna. The main part of the stela shows the god Seth (rather unusually in fully human form) spearing Apophis, or Apep, the great serpent representing chaos, here depicted with a human face and hands. 

AP 60. New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty (13th century BCE). Provenance unknown. Limestone, painted. 41.5 x 29 cm.
