The Sacred Boat of the God Khonsu

1000 piece puzzle

This sacred boat, which is adorned with the moon-god Khonsu, was used to transport the statue of the god during ritual processions in ancient Thebes (modern Luxor). This beautifully painted festival scene is in the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III (ca 1184 BC) at Mediate Habu. The Epigraphic Survey of ISAC, based at Luxor, has been working here since 1924.
