EGYPT 29897] ’Uraeuses decorating a shrine at Abydos.’ Stylized cobra snakes (uraeuses) crowned by a sun disk decorate the top of a shrine in an image on the south wall of the Amun Chapel in the Seti I Temple at Abydos. This detail is part of large image depicting a shrine which holds the sacred portable barques of Amun, Mut and Khonsu (see photos 29895 and 96.) The Seti Temple at Abydos was begun by Seti I and completed by his son Ramses II in the 13th century BC. Photo Paul Smit.
