Saite Oracle Papyrus, October 4, 651 B.C.E., 47.218.3a-j, Brooklyn Museum

The Saite Oracle Papyrus is a papyrus from the Late Period of Egypt that shows a man petitioning for his father to be allowed to leave the priesthood of his temple and join that of a neighboring city (Montu-Re-Horakhty).[1] In the image, the precession of the god Amun-Re can be seen, with parts of his shrine visible above the carrying poles held by priests.
