’Seti and Sekhmet at Abydos.’
This relief shows the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet holding the “anch” sign before the mouth of pharaoh Seti I. The sign is entwined in her “menat” necklace.
The relief is located on the west wall of the Second Hypostyle Hall of the Seti I Temple at Abydos, between the entrances of the Chapel of Ptah and the Chapel of Ra-Horachti. For a wider view see picture 29867.

’Seti and Iousas at Abydos.’
The goddess Iousas is giving pharaoh Seti I the breath of life, in the form of an “anch” sign (symbolizing life) flanked by two “was” sceptres (symbols for prosperity).
Iousas was associated with the creator god Atum. Her nickname “The Hand of Atum” recalls her role, i.e. the hand of Atum with which he masturbated to create the first divine couple, Shu and Tefnut.
The relief is located on the west wall of the Second Hypostyle Hall of the Seti I Temple at Abydos, between the entrances of the Chapel of Ra-Horachti and the Chapel of Amun.

’Ra-Horachti and Iousas at Abydos.’
This relief detail shows Ra-Horachti accompanied by the goddess Iousas. Iousas was associated with the creator god Atum. Her nickname “The Hand of Atum” recalls her role, i.e. the hand of Atum with which he masturbated to create the first divine couple, Shu and Tefnut.
The relief can be found on the south wall in the Chapel of Ra-Horachti, one of the seven chapels that are located directly west of the Second Hypostyle Hall of the Seti I Temple at Abydos.
The detail in this picture is part of scene in which pharaoh Seti I offers various objects such as a sceptre, crook and flail to Ra-Horachti. It is one of the 36 episodes of the Daily Temple Ritual that are shown in the chapel, ranging from Seti entering the sanctuary to cleaning and dressing the statue of the god.

’Chapel of Amun in the Seti I Temple at Abydos.’
The Chapel of Amun is one of the seven chapels that are located directly west of the Second Hypostyle Hall of the Seti I Temple at Abydos. The false door at the west end (left) of the chapel was probably intended to provide the spirit of Amun a means of entry into the chamber.
The walls of the chapels are decorated with 36 episodes of the Daily Temple Ritual, which would have been performed in this chamber by the king or his representative before a statue of the god. Here we are looking at the north wall.
In the bottom right corner of the picture we see Seti breaking the clay seal of the shrine in which the statue of Amun is standing (for a detail see photo 29881). In the upper right corner we see the pharaoh actually opening the doors of the shrine (for a detail see photo 29882).
