Description:
|
The funeral stele is rectangular in shape and presents an offering scene. In the upper part there are two horizontal lines of inscription: "An offer made by the king in Osiris, lord of Busiri, a substantial offering in bread, beer, [oxen, poultry]... and fabrics for the ka of the privileged Keti, son of Henuu". In the figurative scene, on the left, is depicted the late Keti in a standing position and holding the medu stick and the scepter sekhem, symbols of prestige; Keti is dressed in a short, tightly squared wig, with a wide collar and a short skirt. On the right-hand side, in front of the deceased, the offering table with the funeral offerings is represented; just above the table, on a different level, there is the representation of a man who offers the deceased a large front leg of ox. This image is accompanied by an inscription that reads: "His son, his beloved, Senebef". (Source: Museo Barracco di Scultura Antica [website]; http://www.museobarr acco.it/en/)
