Stela of King Peribsen

Two stone stelae bearing the owner's name were set up above the entrance of each royal tomb. The king's name was usually crowned with an image of the falcon god Horus. Peribsen chose to depict the dog-like god Seth instead. This distinguished him from rival kings ruling in the north. Originally Seth was considered a partner of Horus in unifying Egyopt's two lands.
