Relief of Horus and Seth

Decoration on the side of the throne of King Senusret I showing the theme of the unification of the Two Lands ‘Sema-Tawy’, which was associated with the Nile god, Hapi. He was replaced by Horus and Seth.

Furthermore, we have here one of the rare cases in which the image of Seth, god of confusion, power and desert, was not destroyed through the superstition of later generations.

Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, reign of Senusret I, ca. 1971-1926 BC. Limestone, from Al Lisht. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 31139
