Soldiers, Sailors and Sandalmakers: A Social Reading of Ramesside Period Votive Stelae

This book sets out to explore the meaning of votive stelae to the individuals who dedicated them, and the nature of the events that they commemorate, during the Egyptian Ramesside Period (1295-1069 BC). By reading the stelae as a form of self-presentation, Exell aims to uncover both the social processes that it encapsulates and the social position or role of its dedicator in society.
