Catalogue Description: A small wooden board inscribed with 3 ½ lines of hieratic, a quote from The Instructions of Hardjdef. The board has a tenon projecting from its top with a hole pierced through it running parallel to the face of the board. The inscription runs at a right angle to the horizontal axis of the board. Condition: The board is in excellent condition. The uninscribed verso shows a few holes and gauges. The recto has no mars and the writing is extremely clear. There are no traces of a gesso-covering if there originally was one.
