Fragment of a relief with an offering scene

185.jpg
Flash

The fragment shows, from left to right, a man with a long smooth wig and two bald-headed men. The first man holds an incense brazier in his left hand and raises his right hand, adoring a god who is not preserved - only a small part of his kiosk is visible. The second man also raises his hands in adoration; one raised hand of the third man is preserved. The first and second figures wear smooth garments, of the first one the sleeves are visible.
The style of the fragment shows post-Amarna influence. The representations are finely executed in sunk relief.
