During the epigraphic mission of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston-Yale University Project in the mastaba fields at Giza, in the mid-1980s, the Antiquities Director in charge at Giza, Dr. Zahi Hawass, asked if an artist member of the staff could go to Heliopolis to trace a false-door stela found there. Accordingly Mr. Lynn Holden carefully traced the stela, which was subsequently inked in Boston by our fellow staff member, Nicholas Thayer (figs. 1, 2, 3A and 3B). Dr. Peter Der Manuelian of the Boston Museum kindly retrieved the negatives of the drawings, added the cornice and torus molding from an earlier draft and had them printed out for me at an appropriate scale. My thanks and appreciation to each.
