This unusually shaped loaf of bread was found in a basket of food (36.3.57) that had been placed in the tomb of Hatnefer (36.3.1). Two other fragmentary loaves of similar shape were also found in the basket. There were also other, more conventional loaves (36.3.73, 36.3.74, 36.3.78), raisins (36.3.65), and dates (36.3.66).
