Description

Limestone rectangular offering tray. Depicts a bird and two loaves of bread between, a hes-vase and a ewer. The two vessels are connected by a water to a bowl. The offering tray is incomplete. The piece measures 295x189x37mm. The style suggests a Graeco-Roman date (Bolshakov, A.O. 2001. 'Offering Tables' in D.B. Redford (ed.) 'The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt', 572-576). (probably hetep shaped) Cf Kamal Catalogue Général, 1906, pl XVIII, No. 23083.
