Description: Block 243 from the first row of the south side. It represents three kneeling personifications of various Hatshepsut's monuments and constructions. The first figure is a female personification of the temple of Hatshepsut (ḫʿ-ȝḫt Jmn - the rise of horizon of Amun). The second figure is a Nile personification of Amun's pool/canal (wʿb ḳbḥ - pure and cool). The last figure is only partially preserved in its front (most probably a female personification; no name of the monument is preserved).
All figures are oriented towards the right.
