This relief depicts the young prince Seti I with his arm raised in the summoning position as part of a religious ritual. Here, he is serving in a priestly function as a innmutef priest symbolizing the devine child Horus with hair in a sidelock to represent youth and dressed in a leopard skin. As the eldest son of the royal family who cared for the deceased king he summons the revered spirit of the king, now identified with Osiris, and pronounces a formula before the image of his father Rames I. A capable ruler, excellent field commander and energetic builder, Seti I embarked on a series of military campaigns in an effort to secure the boundaries of Egypt. Seti I was seceded by his son, the famous Ramses II the Great.
