Notes
Limestone slab bearing, in sunk relief, a representation of food offerings placed on a table, and a column of hieroglyphs. Representations and inscription are within a rectangular area defined by incised lines. To the left of the field is an inscription. The food offerings, to the right, rest upon upright reed feathers. Six of these feathers face right; one and one-half face left. This lack of symmetry, the fact that the right side of two offerings in the field above, and the existence of a border of stone beyond the incised line on the right which cuts these objects off indicates that the object might be a sculptor's model. Resting upon the feathers are various offerings including an ox head, bread, fish, and onions. There is much fine detail in certain of the offerings, especially the ox head. The hieroglyphs are done in incised lines and plain-incised relief. The left hand edge is complete; the right and bottom edges are joints.
