Date of Illustration: 1250 BCE

Description: One stele, from around 1250 BCE, shows an official named as Hosy who has a trumpet tucked under his arm. We have no indication as to what kind of official he was. The instrument he holds is much longer than the others shown in the iconography and is in the form of a long cone with a slightly-conical bell. No blowing device is shown on this instrument.
