Description
The first of two frames of fragments from hieratic accounts on papyrus, in red and black, from more than one set of accounts. The largest fragment preserves the heading 'Account of pottery' with the first item being henu-cups. Another fragment bears the legal phrase '[all property] in the country or in the town'. From an envelope marked 'Kahun 1890. lot XVI.rubbish' and 'scraps with fine letter lot 100' (the high lot number is perhaps from an earlier sequence, cf UC 32321 as lot '105'). Mounted in two frames as five larger and one small fragment. From Kahun workmen's town.
