architectural fragments

Basalt object, much damaged (once hexagonal ?), with figures of men now headless in high relief at corners, four now remaining. Depression at top and bottom, suggesting it may once have formed part of an offering stand or incense burner. Single columns of inscription between each figure, giving names including Inheretnakht, Amenemhat, Satiqer (?).
