Abstract | ||||
This paper presents a round limestone offering table in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (CG1305), which was recovered by A. Mariette during his excavations for the EAS, and is displayed in EMC-R 37. The offering table belongs to KA(.i)-Hb, dating to the Old Kingdom (Fourth Dynasty) and was discovered in Saqqara, mastaba C 271 (Fig. No.1). The offering table bears a circular line of hieroglyphic writing in sunk relief around its upper edge; the text runs anticlockwise and contains a di nsw formula, the name of the deceased and his title. | ||||
