Description
Fragment of statue: pink granite pair of hands (of king or queen) holding plain offering table with incised inscription round edge.
Notes on the inscription: image 2 has right-to-left the names of the Aten in two cartouches and the throne-name of Akhenaten in a third, image 3 has right-to-left the name of Akhenaten in a fourth cartouche (so it is the continuation of image 2), image 4 has left-to-right the names of Nefertiti in the cartouche. All images show the object upside down, because the flat side of the object represents the top of the offering table.
