Stela of Wesi Decorated Balustrade fragment


Wesi, Commander of the Navy and Chief of Archers under Akhenaten's father, and his wife Ipuy present offerings to Osiris, asking that he will provide for them in the afterlife.
Akhenaten, his wife Nefertiti, and one of their daughters present offerings to Aten. The royal family were the intermediaries between their subjects and the god. No one else is ever shown presenting offerings to Aten.
