Description
Summary:A set of 16 block fragments can be distinguished amongst the reliefs from the temple of Thutmose I in Qurna, which was built by Hatshepsut for her father. The blocks are decorated with representations of at least two battle scenes with chariots.

This article presents a detailed account of the material in question and discusses its reconstruction and meaning.
