Thebes - Mortuary Temple of Sethos I - Colonnade

The Colonnade, which preserves nine of its original ten papyrus cluster columns with closed capitals, bears on the architrave a dedicatory inscription by Ramesses II. On the rear wall, flanking the central doorway, are reliefs of men and women bearing votive offerings; those on the left have lilies on their heads, representing Upper Egypt, those on the right the papyrus of Lower Egypt. Above, left, the King offering incense in the presence of the sacred barque of Amun, borne by priests; right, the King before various deities.
