Figure of a man from the rim of a bowl for libations. A small number of New Kingdom libation bowls include a figure of the dedicator kneeling at the edge in the act of presenting the offerings. This example was retrieved during clearance of the 11th Dynasty temple of Nebhepetra Mentuhotep, but probably comes from the adjacent deposits of votive offerings to the goddess Hathor at the Eighteenth Dynasty temples of Tuthmosis III and Hatshepsut.
