Magical Stela of Horus

This stela is known in Egyptian art as a cippus, or magical stela. Egyptians believed that the water poured over these cippi would be transformed into a curative remedy that the afflicted could then drink or apply to the body to heal afflictions. Depicted at the top of this stela is a winged sun disk with a row of nine deities in sunk relief below it. Texts on these stelae are usually comprised of healing spells that include references to a myth in which the god Horus was injured and was then healed. By referencing this popular story, an individual bitten by a snake or stung by a scorpion could likewise hope to be healed. Chlorite schist, Ptolemaic Period, 332–280 B.C., Egypt.
