Description: | Five horizontal lines of hieroglyphs, plus single vertical column at the back. The inscription is faded making a full reading difficult, however enough remains to show Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead. The owners name seems to begin with Bak-??
'The illuminated one, the Osiris, Bak-??, he speaks: O, [...] all work [...] to irrigate [...] river banks [...]'
(Prevoius entry suggests the name of deceased might be Bak-en-Geb.)
Wooden shabti figure, wears a plain tripartite wig painted black except the lower ends of the lappets that are not painted but are framed with red lines. A decorated headband is worn around the wig. The hands are crossed on the chest and hold a pair of hoes added in black. The shabti is a little worn but well carved.
