Above, egg-and-dart; bordered inscription; below, astral florette and Egyptian-style offering table; regarding the latter, see Paris AO 23100 ( CIS I.2145) and London BM 125284 (Pu27), Mendelson labelled as “incense shovel“ and “offering tray“ ( 1999: 13, 24). Compare the form and function of offering tables in Leiden, such as those of Ankhshepenwepet (RMO AM 103) and Senbebu & Dedusobek (RMO AM 12-c).

CIS I.438 (Falbe 2); Gesenius included this not in his Monumenta, but in his Thesaurus (1835: 1345), after which it was duplicated erroneously as Carthagenensis 13 & 14 (Euting 1883: Taf.6-7, cf.
Schröder 1869: Karth.14-15 sic) but was corrected by Renan (CIS I.438), who labelled it “Falbe 2” despite its absence from the Recherches (Falbe 1833); Sznycer 2001: 43; Lund 2016
