Part of the shrine of Queen Henhenet ca. 2051-2030 B.C. Middle Kingdom The funerary complex of King Mentuhotep II at Deir el-Bahri is one of the most important monuments in the Theban area. Built between around 2050-2000 B.C., before the more famous Temple of Hatshepsut directly to its north, it lies in a remote desert valley within a bay of spectacular limestone cliffs. The monument served multiple functions: it was a mortuary complex for the king and female members of his family; a place of commemoration for Mentuhotep II's achievements as military and spiritual leader in the reunification of Egypt; and a sanctuary of the solar deity Montu, the Upper Egyptian counterpart to Re of Heliopolis.Inside the temple precinct, in addition to both a burial place and a cenotaph for the king himself, were a number of tombs for royal women. The reconstruction here, a modern restoration incorporating ancient fragments, comes from the mortuary monument of Queen Henenet, one of six minor royal wives

Grisaille Panels 1270-80 French In stained-glass painting, the term grisaille refers to an ornamental nonfigurative design painted in black line on colorless glass. Grisaille windows developed after a prohibition on the use of colored glass was issued by the Cistercian Order in 1134. By the thirteenth century, limited amounts of colored glass were introduced into grisaille designs. Here, a latticework of blue glass overlays one of the most intricate and complex patterns found in grisaille windows of the period. The design of this window finds its closest parallels in Normandy in the 1270s.The top and bottom panels and the red border are modern. The right sides of the four central panels have been expanded..
