During documentation of the offering scenes decorating the Chapel of Hatshepsut (the so-called Southern Hall of Offerings) in the mortuary temple of the queen at Deir el-Bahari, on some vessels represented among piled offerings on the upper part of its north wall, deep gouges typical for the iconoclasm of the Amarna period have been observed. Closer examination revealed similar traces of deliberate destruction also on depictions of other pottery forms, recorded on blocks attributed to the scene in question in its eastern section. It is interesting to remark that the described erasures have been noted (with only one exception) exclusively on the north wall of the Chapel, while all the vessels depicted in the corresponding area of the south wall bear no such traces. The aim of the paper is an attempt at reconstructing inscriptions placed on the vessels in question on the basis of similar representations coming from the other parts of Djeser-djeseru, the actual inscribed vessels known from the archaeological context and th depictions of similar artifacts found in some Eighteenth Dynasty tombs of the nobles.

It is well known that during the post-Amarna period, depictions and texts vandalized in the course of the religious revolution of Akhenaten were restored. On the whole, they were reworked without changes. However, in the case of some elements of the wall decoration, the repaired image differed somewhat from the original one. This is the case of liturgical utensils represented in the offering table scenes in the Chapel of Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, where instead of hes-vases with conical covers so-called Amun-vases were restored. These were hes-vases with ram-headed lids which are known to have been carried in processions heading to the Nile during the New Year celebrations. The paper aims at answering the questions, what was the reason for the destruction of the mentioned cult implements during the Amarna period and why in the course of the post-Amarna repair some of the libation vessels were restored as ‘Amun-vases’.
