Archaeological conservation at Deir el-Bahari: Hatshepsut pouring water over the Amun-Ra’s statue. The ritual was connected with the ceremony of revivification of the cult statue.
The decoration including original paint has come to light after the removal of embedded dirt and soot by the conservators of the Polish-Egyptian Mission in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari.
