Object of Sennedjem with Unknown Purpose

JE 27247

EGYPTIAN MUSEUM

The semicircular object, found among the funerary equipment of Sennedjem, was apparently part of a larger object. The function and purpose of this object are still unknown.

Along its edge, the object bears a single vertical band of accurately cut hieroglyphs that carry the owner's name and title and the remains of a line that reads "Osiris, the Servant in the Place of Truth, Sennedjem, the Justified."

The Place of Truth refers to Deir el-Medina. All the hieroglyphic signs are written from right to left and painted blue.

"Osiris, the Servant in the Place of Truth, Sennedjem, the Justified."
