| description | Conservation work at the TT49 cult chapel has shown not only the vivid colors of its pilaster but also the columns of texts hidden, until today, by a thick layer of soot. Although Davies’s publication describes its iconography, only a few words located behind the West goddess could be read. This paper presents the current state of the pilaster after the cleaning work. Its translation is expounded for the first time after almost 3400 years of silence. Also, an interpretation of its symbolism is presented in the general context of the statues´ niche. |

El trabajo de conservación en la capilla de culto de TT49 ha descubierto no sólo los vívidos colores de su pilastra sino también las columnas de textos ocultas hasta hoy por una gruesa capa de hollín. Si bien la publicación de Davies describe su iconografía, apenas unas palabras sueltas ubicadas detrás de la diosa de Occidente pudieron ser leídas. En este trabajo se presenta el estado actual de la pilastra tras los trabajos de limpieza y se expone por primera vez su traducción después de casi 3400 años de silencio. Asimismo, se presenta una interpretación de su simbolismo en el marco general del nicho de estatuas. 2020-10-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/8449 10.34096/arqueologia.t26.n3.8449 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/8449/7607 Derechos de autor 2020 Arqueología application/pdf Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires Arqueología; Vol. 26 Núm. 3 (2020): septiembre-diciembre; 207-217 Arqueología; Vol 26 No 3 (2020): September-December; 207-217 1853-8126 0327-5159 |
