Abstract

In ancient Egypt, Stela was decorated with a lunette, which is composed of special elements.
These lunettes were both symbols of protection and defense. In Middle Kingdom stelae, one
may find many protecting symbols; such as Wadjet-eyes, Jackel, and Winged sun-disk, all of
these symbols are represented upon top of stelae in different forms. The research aims to
throw light on the different forms of top of stelae decorating symbols of Middle Kingdom
especially those located in Cairo Museum.
