Rectangular offering table carved in raised relief with a water channel (possibly stained through use) around the perimeter, meeting in a spout at the front. Offerings are represented in the central panel, which has a main design of two hes-jars, two hollowed out cartouches/shen-hieroglyphs and two lotus flowers, both curving over and flanked by two and two lotus buds. Above this is a raised line on which stand smaller objects including a water pot, vases and circular cakes. |
