First Intermediate Period
This block faced the side of a niche on the exterior of mud brick mastabas at Saqqara; the back part of the niche would have held a false-door stela. This block has three registers: offering bearers appear in the two top registers, and in the lowest register a lector-priest presents incense to Inpuemhat and his wife Sitsobek.
