The scribe Ouser and his family

This beautiful 18th Dynasty stela belongs to the scribe Ouser. He is seated on a seat with a back and accompanied by his wife, Tanefret. A young boy is standing at their side. To the right of the offering-table, which is found in the middle of the scene, one sees two older boys: the first, a priest, pours a water-libation; the second, a scribe, holds a roll of papyrus under his left arm. The hieroglyphic inscriptions engraved in vertical columns on the top of the stela and those inscribed on the lower part contain the names and titles of family members and a long classical offering formula
