Abstract

A set of 16 block fragments can be distinguished amongst the reliefs from the temple of Thutmose I in Qurna, which was built by Hatshepsut for her father. The blocks are decorated with representations of at least two battle scenes with chariots. However, battle scenes with chariots are very rare in this period and known exclusively from small sets of blocks. This article presents a detailed account of the material in question and discusses its reconstruction and meaning.

Keywords: temple of Thutmose I in Qurna, battle scene, chariot, infantry
