Description: Niche with panel showing the king Netjerykhet (Djoser) walking towards the shrine of Horus of Behedet (modern Edfu). From Saqqara, Djoser pyramid complex, blue underground chambers, reproduction now in the Imhotep Museum. In this scene, set geographically in Upper Egypt, we see the Djoser doing what is probably one of the first acts of his Jubilee feast (hed seb). The king, wearing the white crown walks to a famous temple of Upper Egypt, quoted in vertical text on the left. It is the temple of Horus of Behedet, where was worshipped a form of Horus protector of the throne of Egypt.
