Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu
The Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu i (also known as the Stele of Revealing) is a painted, wooden offering stele, discovered in 1858 at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Dayr al-Bahri by François Auguste Ferdinand Mariette.〔In general, see Cynthia May Sheikholeslami. 2003. “The burials of the priests of Montu at Deir el-Bahari in the Theban necropolis.” In ''The Theban necropolis: Past, present and future'', edited by Nigel C. Strudwick and John H. Taylor. London: British Museum Press. 131–137.〕 It was originally made for the Montu-priest Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu i,〔Hisham el-Leithy, "Painted Wooden Stelae From Thebes from the 21st to the 26 Dynasties," in ''Proceedings of the Ninth International Congress of Egyptologists'', edited by Jean-Claude Goyon and Christine Cardin. Orientalia lovaniensia analecta 150. Leuven: Uitgeverij Peeters, 2007. 585–594 (); see also Abd el-Hamid Zayed, "Painted Wooden Stelae in the Cairo Museum," ''Revue d'égytologie'' 20 (1968), 149–152, and plate 7.〕 and was discovered near his coffin ensemble of two sarcophagi and two anthropomorphic inner coffins. It dates to ''circa'' 680/70 BCE, the period of the late Dynasty 25/early Dynasty 26. Originally located in the former Bulaq Museum under inventory number 666, the stele was moved around 1902 to the newly opened Egyptian Museum of Cairo (inventory number A 9422; Temporary Register Number 25/12/24/11), where it remains today.
The stele is made of wood and covered with a plaster gesso, which has been painted. It measures 51.5 centimeters high and 31 centimeters wide. On the front Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu is as a priest of Montu can be seen; he is presenting offerings to the falcon-headed god Re-Harakhty ("Re-Horus of the Two Horizons"), a syncretic form of the gods Ra and Horus, who is seated on a throne. The symbol of the west, the place of the Dead, is seen behind Re-Harakhty. Above the figures is a depiction of Nuit, the sky goddess who stretches from horizon to horizon. Directly beneath her is the Winged Solar Disk, Horus of Behdet.
The stele is also known as the "Stele of Revealing" and is a central element of the religious philosophy Thelema founded by Aleister Crowley.

The stele is a fairly typical example of a late Third Intermediate Period Theban offering stele〔Peter Munro. 1973. ''Die spätägyptischen Totenstelen''. 2 vols. Ägyptologische Forschungen 25. Glückstadt: Verlag J. J. Augustin. The stele is #187 in Munro's catalogue.〕 dating to the late Dynasty 25/early Dynasty 26.〔Abd el Hamid Zayed, "Painted Wooden Stelae in the Cairo Museum," ''Revue d'égytologie'' 20 (1968), 149–152, and plate 7.〕 It was discovered in 1854 as part of a large burial of priests of Montu at Dayr al-Bahri, and included the coffin of the dedicant, Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu.〔Henri Gauthier. 1913.
