Author: Olga Białostocka | Pages: 19–36

Abstract

In the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a representation of a nome procession covers one of the walls of the small, open courtyard in the Royal Cult Complex. Using analogical scenes preserved in other temples, the paper reconstructs the order of nome personifications depicted in the said procession. It further delves into the nature of this type of representation and its significance for the king, taking into consideration the location of the scene.
