Gratefully built with ACNLPatternTool
Late Period, Saite
This rectangular plaque bears two of the names of Apries: one one side is "the son of Re, Wahibre"; on the other is "King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Haaibre (hellenized as Apries), may he live forever." Found on top of an undisturbed foundation deposit of Thutmose III, this was part of a dedication made by Apries when he carried out construction within the Osiris temple precinct at Abydos.
