Stele of the scribe Ramose
From Deir el-Medina
19th dynasty, reign of Ramesses II
The scribe Ramose, whose title was "Scribe in the Place of
Truth" of Ramesses II (5th to 38th regnal year), dedicated
this stela to the goddess Qudshu, the Asiatic goddess of
love, possibly hoping that her intercession might assist in
rousing his sexual potency. Qudshu is shown standing naked on
a lion, her sacred animal. She is placed between male
fertility deities Reshep and Min-Amun-Re.
In the bottom register next to Ramose is his wife Mutemwia.
The couple failed to produce an heir and eventual successor.
The stele reflects their desire to have children.
