Abstract

This article studies the Ptolemaic block statue of PA-di-mnw son of pA-(n-) xtyw and &A-miwt. This object (JE 37415) is displayed in the Cairo Museum. The study will discuss the statue, its' representations, and the inscriptions carved on its surface. The owner of this statue is the guard of the temple and the doorkeeper of the gold house, while his brother PA-Sri, who dedicated the present statue to his brother PA-di-mnw, is the overseer of the doorkeepers of Isis, the great divine mother. The present statue is to be one of the unique statues due to the depiction of a man playing trumpet in front of the triumphant Amun and MinĀ  of Koptos. The Block Statues are particularly associated with the resurrection, humility, and supplication, and therefore the Abydene Fetish of Osiris was depicted above them to revive the owner of the statue.
