| Description |  |
The stela held up by Montuemhat shows himoffering to Atum-Khepri, one of the many forms of the Sun God. The text is a hymn to the setting sun, taken from Spell 15 of the Book of the Dead. The text on the black pillar is an appeal to the local god of the owner to protect him. This statue and a similar one in Cairo were almost certainly set up in Montuemhat's tomb at Thebes.
