The wish to represent the prayer to the sun-god led to add to the representation of the praying man a stone-reservation as a stela which joined his forearms together, engraved with an hieroglyphic hymn: such a close association of the image-text with the image-attitude designates the stelophorous statue as a hieroglyph as a whole. But, very soon, these two aspects of the hieroglyphic stelophorous statue were dissociated to give birth to the representation of the stela just as a luxury object, which was representative of the high rank of its owner, without any link to the cult of the sun.
