inner wall
The east wall in room A of the temple of Satet measures 776.25cm in length.[1] The decoration of the wall was executed in raised relief and displays the cryptographic frieze of Hatshepsut at the top. The studies on the temple decoration are still in progress and the publication is expected, so the closer description of the wall is not feasible at the moment. According to Werner Kaiser, who published the list of scenes, three scenes can be reconstructed: leading four calves for Satet, bringing mrt-chests for Anuket and bringing ‘water clock’ for Satet.[2] The door frame was placed in the north part of the wall.[3]
