FLAMMINI, Roxana. The Representation of the “Overseer of Sealed Things” Neshi in the Second Stela of Kamose (K2). Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2022, vol.57, n.1, pp.125-150.  Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v57i1.2630.

The unusual carved image of the “overseer of sealed things” Neshi is preserved in the lower left part of the Second Stela of Kamose, the commemorative royal monument erected in the temple of Amun at Karnak. The official was commissioned to make the stela and place it in the temple on orders from the king. The figure faces the written text, and the official holds a ceremonial fan in his left hand. In this paper, I propose an alternative explanation for the presence of the official’s image in the stela.
