From the Museo Egizio record
The naos of Kasa is one of the most famous artefacts in the Turin Egyptian Museum, appreciated for its originality and elegance. It is a sort of 'portable' chapel dedicated to Anuket and the other two member of the triad of Elephantine, Khnum and Satet. Together, the three gods preside over the annual flooding of the Nile: 'Adoring Anuket, lady of Sehel, kissing the ground for Satet, lady of Elephantine. May she give you life, strength, ability, favour, love and a beautiful tomb after your old age and a burial in the district of the chosen in the great West of Thebes, the district of the just, to the servant in the Place of Truth, Kasa, justified'. Dimensions: 18 cm x 33.5 cm x 33 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 1 / Room 06 DEM / Showcase 07. Image views available: 9.
