Additional Information
Text: The inscriptions on the stele contain a sacrifical formula and the name and titles of Ipi.
Image: Ipi worshipping a statue of Anubis, god of embalming and protector of the dead. To the left on a throne sits the jackal-headed Anubis himself. The god's attire is caught up with a girdle, his neck is adorned with a double necklace. In his right hand, Anubis holds the symbol of life, ankh and he holds out his left hand with the uas rod to Ipi, who moves towards him. Ipi is shown in the complicated official robes - a shirt with long sleeves and a long apron. The gesture of his hands, raised in prayer, is typical of the depiction of worshippers. Anubis and Ipi are treated in different ways, emphasizing the latter's mortal status and Anubis's divinity. The figure of Ipi is more finely modelled, while the figure of Anubis is traditionally flat, the drawing of its contours being graphic and dry.
