Relief from the tomb of Bakenrenef, wall from small room with texts and niches

Late Period, Saite
664–610 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 123
Between the innermost room (see 11.150.5a) and the pillared hall (see 11.150.5b) was a smaller room whose walls were covered with lists of offerings and magical texts, interrupted by four small niches. These two wall sections (see also 11.150.50d) formed the southwest corner of this chamber. On the outer edge of each section is part of the frame of a niche. At the top, Bakenrenef is shown worshiping various aspects of Osiris, each represented as a seated figure of the god.

For a Curatorial Interpretation of this group of reliefs, see 11.150.50a–d-related.
