Wall Scenes of Seti I Inside the Hall |

All of Seti's inscriptions inside the Hypostyle Hall are in bas relief, but a closer look reveals some interesting changes along the way. We know that the first wall scenes were carved on the north gateway (for more information, click here). Some reliefs on the north gateway and on the east half of the north wall just to the right of the gate were carved with the high level of detail found in the Abydos temple. But soon, it was decided that this method was too laborious or that the sandstone was too coarse for such elaborate relief. Other reliefs of Seti I in the hall have a more usual level of carved detail. The rest was done in paint. |
The ram-headed prow of the
processional barque shrine with a number of statuettes on the deck behind
it. This is one of the more elaborate reliefs of Seti I from the north wall.
