Linen mark from the burial of Myt bearing the name of the steward Henenu
Middle Kingdom
Linen marks are usually short inscriptions written in ink on the corners of large sheets of linen. Some mention the names and titles of high officials, to whose estate the linen may have belonged or who were possibly overseeing its acquisition or production. Other marks say nfr (good), which probably refers to the quality of the fabric. Occasionally, the name of the ruling king and a date are also written.
This linen mark derives from the same sheet as 22.3.6. It lay inside Myt’s sarcophagus, beside her coffin (26.3.9a, b). The inscription mentions the steward Henenu, who might be the same person as the one depicted on the stela 26.3.218a, b.
