Abstract :
[en] This article deals with a fragmentary relief now in the Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge, depicting the god Horus-Shed shooting arrows in his chariot, together with the god Bes driving the vehicle. Previously unnoticed, this fragment can be added to the corpus of a rare iconographical motive, the so-called ‘Holy Hunt of Horus-Shed in his chariot’.
