The rear wall of the pronaos is pierced by a doorway, leading into the other rooms. On the cavetto
cornice winged disks are depicted. Beneath this a relief can be found. Aldred interpreted the
scenes as the pharaoh making offerings to the gods. He mentions the gods worshipped in this
temple appear to be the Osirian triad, Knuhm, Thoth, Tephenis, Arsenuphis, and Pedesi and Pihor
(Aldred 1978, 50).
The walls of the hypostyle hall in ancient Egyptian temples had one main theme: multiple scenes in
which the king, facing the sanctuary, brings offerings and performs rituals to the gods. The fact
that such scenes can be found in this room as well supports Aldred’s interpretation that the room
functioned as a hypostyle hall (Málek and Baines 1981, 64).
Fig. 31 Central ceiling panel (Aldred 1978, 36)
The ceiling of the pronaos has a central panel located in the roof, which the metropolitan museum
interprets as vultures with outspread wings representing the sky. The panel is slightly damaged,
making it hard to determine the details depicted on it. There are several winged figures depicted.
The figures have different kinds of heads, resembling different animals and wearing alternating
headdresses.
