Title |
Plaque with Request for the Support of Re |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This symmetrical long-oval placque has a single sided, vertically arranged inscription with column writing requesting the special support of Re. The plaque is good and carefully made, but the inscription is roughly done. The style of the script signs and the content of the text are unusual and without parallel.
The excellent carving of the plaque and the sloppy layout of the inscription make it likely that the plaque was an original, and the inscription a modern addition. |
