EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient limestone stele, dating back to the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom in Egypt, around 1400-1365 BC, depicts Roma the doorkeeper, a devoted offering bearer, presenting various items to the goddess Astarte. The stele, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a captivating piece of ancient Egyptian art. Roma, a boy with a deformed foot, is shown as the humble offerer, carrying a cup and a goblet in his hands, while his wife and child follow behind him. The couple's faces are serene, expressing their devotion to the goddess. Roma's deformity, a physical flaw in ancient Egyptian society, is not hidden but instead, he is depicted as a devoted and capable individual, making offerings to the goddess. Astarte, the goddess of love, fertility, and war, is shown in hieroglyphics at the top of the stele, receiving the offerings from Roma. The goddess is depicted with the horns of a cow and the solar disk between them, symbolizing her power and strength. The offerings presented to Astarte include a jar, a goblet, and a cup, which were likely used in religious rituals. The presence of these items suggests that Roma and his family were seeking the goddess's protection and blessings, perhaps for themselves or for someone in their family suffering from illness or infection. The stele's intricate hieroglyphics and detailed carvings provide a glimpse into ancient Egyptian mythology and the role of gods and goddesses in daily life. The Stele of Roma the doorkeeper dedicated to Goddess Astarte is a poignant reminder of the deep faith and devotion of the ancient Egyptians and their belief in the power of the gods to heal and protect.
