A “ghost” fragment from the chapel of Tuthmosis I in the Royal Mortuary Cult Complex of the Hatshepsut Temple

Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2

Abstract

A peculiar drawing of a part of the decoration of the Royal Mortuary Cult Complex in the Hatshepsut temple at Deir el-Bahari, as copied once by Johannes Dümichen, is the subject of this paper. Its comparison with existing relief fragments leads to the conclusion that the plate in question is the result of an artificial juxtaposition of two disparate fragments of wall decoration from the Royal Mortuary Cult Complex.<br/><br/>
