The British Museum, The Votive Stele of Seneb

Out of the ancient Egyptian holy land at Abydos and the holy site for Osiris which is called Bu-Sier a countless amount of votive Stelae were collected. Stele of Seneb at the British Museum is a good example of the funeral stelae which are between 1500-1200 B.C. Generally, the votive stelae should start with the HOTEP-DI-NISU spell, to invocate the underworld patron gods. The text on Seneb stele mentions " May the king become happy*kind* to give, May Osiris lord of JEDDU be happy to give him thousands of offerings from House of offerings, jars of wine and peer , cattle and poultry, everyday for the well purified, the living god in his KA * double* and his REN* name* Seneb.
