Statuette of Khnumhotep Receiving Offerings
Middle Kingdom
The inscription is a prayer for offerings to the funerary god Ptah-Sokar for Khnumhotep, son of Tasen (?). The figure's position, with the cloak drawn tightly over squatting legs, is echoed in a number of similar small images that were inserted into offering slabs.
