crescent / half moon


Explanation:
En este contexto creo que luneta se refiere a la forma semicircular o de media luna. Por eso sugiero crescent o half moon.

Stele

Steles are inscribed, upright stones that could be used as boundary markers, to celebrate a victory, to honour the gods, or for many other purposes. They were most often used as funerary markers on which the deceased were featured, in the presence of the gods, and a list of provisions and offerings was inscribed to provide sustenance in the afterlife.
The inscriptions on pharaohs' steles often boasted about their exploits. One of the common themes was the pharaoh’s superior ability to make wise decisions. Narratives recount how pharaohs asked their courtiers for advice then rejected the suggestions given in favour of their own plans.
