DescriptionThis raised relief fragment depicts a large scale male figure holding a long staff of office, faced by a small servant presenting a vertical cylinder believed to be a document. There are hieroglyphs to the right of the figure that give his titles. One is "sab." Below the elbow of the large-scale figure are more hieroglyphs, spelling 'Ptah,' likely part of his name Neferherenptah.
