Vestibule, North Side - Block-No. 256 |
| Stone: red quartzite (origin - from the "Red Mountains" of Djebel Akhmar, an area near Heliopolis) |
| Ritual run - Hatshepsut is "Seizing the Oar" for the ithyphallic Amun-Ra, King of Gods. Here, on the northern side of the chapel she wears the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. |
| Behind the running queen the signs are depicted which are typical for a ritual run - three turning marks and symbols of protection (fan, hinges, scorpion, and a sign for Amun). |
