Publication of two fragmentary yoke-saddle finials of stone found in the Ramesseum's Temple of Tuya and in the Ramesseum's palace during the excavation seasons 2011 and 2013. Both pieces were found among the backfill of the Oriental Institute's excavations of the 1930s. Despite this context, these finials are of interest for two reasons: they are the only ones discovered on the western bank of Thebes in a non-funerary context and the typology of one of them may be non-standard.
