Relief fragment showing a pile of offerings and part of an offering list

Middle Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 107

Originally from the innermost room of Dagi's tomb chapel, this block depicts some of the offerings piled up in front of a large figure of Dagi at his funerary meal: here they consist of joints of meat, a bunch of grapes, figs, a large goose, and the head of an ox. Above the foodstuffs is part of the funerary "menu," a gridded table that lists the various food, drink, and ritual materials necessary for Dagi's mortuary cult.
