    Description: This round-topped stela celebrates the triumph of Theban ruler Kamose over the Hyksos king Apophis. The stela’s lunette is decorated with a carved winged solar disk, while the rest is covered with Egyptian hieroglyphs in sunk relief. The beginning of the text records a letter intercepted by Kamose’s army to the king of Kush from Apophis. The letter was a request for help against Kamose. The remainder of the stela describes Kamose’s victory over the Hyksos. Neshy, the “overseer of the courtiers and chief of the treasurers” is depicted as a small figure in the bottom left corner. Kamose charged him with the responsibility of erecting this stela at Karnak.
