Inscribed portion of the pedestal from a statue of a deity. This inscription has been cut at an unknown date from the corner of a statue of a god, one in a series created for the jubilee of king Amenhotep III in c.1360 BC. The god is named in the hieroglyphic inscription as Djesernetjeru, lord of the jubilee, an obscure deity whose principal role may have been only to protect one part of the jubilee rites.
