المستخلص

This paper is the first scientific publication of a votive stela of a man called “Any”, it is preserved in Cairo Egyptian Museum No. SR 4/11736, TR 10.6.24.11, R7 – N2. The study begins by describing the material, dimensions and the place of finding the stela, and then the study deals —in details—with the texts, by translating and commenting on them.
The inscriptions can be divided into three main registers; the first one is at the round-topped part; where Any is depicted burning the incenses in front of the God Osiris whom is setting on the chair. while Isis and Nebt-Ht standing behind him. The second register depicts Any’s wife and the three sons behind her. While the last register depicts Any’s two daughters holding the Sestrum, a woman whom her name was mentioned without declaring her relation with the owner of the stela, and servant holding some offerings like bread, fruit and pig in the background.
The study used the comparative methodology especially when analysing the people’s outfits such as the clothes, jewellery and the style of the offering table.
