CG 1305: AN OFFERING TABLE IN THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM WITH A
SHORT NOTATION ON FESTIVALS
Dalia HANAFY
This paper presents a round limestone offering table in the Egyptian Museum in
Cairo
(CG1305), which was recovered by A. Mariette during his excavations for the EAS,
and
is displayed in EMC-R 37. The offering table belongs to KA(.i)-Hb, dating to the
Old
Kingdom (Fourth Dynasty) and was discovered in Saqqara, mastaba C 271 (Fig.
No.1).
The offering table bears a circular line of hieroglyphic writing in sunk relief
around its
upper edge; the text runs anticlockwise and contains a di nsw formula, the name
of the
deceased and his title.
