The Late Period Stela of the God's Father Horenpe from the Manchester Museum

This article presents a stela belonging to the God’s Father Horenpe (acc. no. 6041), which was donated to the Manchester Museum by its founder and primary benefactor Sir Jesse Haworth and partly published by Amelia Edwards in 1888. The article investigates the stela’s provenance and dates it on stylistic grounds to the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. Evidence is also presented which suggests that the stela may have originated from Abydos where a near-identical stela also belonging to a man similarly named Horenpe was uncovered by John Garstang in 1907.
