Offering table with statuette of Sehetepib

Middle Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 111

These objects were found in the vertical shaft of a tomb, but they were probably originally in an aboveground chapel. The statuette is inscribed with the title and name of the owner on the front of his long garment. It is set into a separate base in the shape of a small offering table with a projecting drain, cleverly placing the statue of the owner near the symbolic provisions it would receive.
