Catalogue Description: Fragmentary sandstone slab with decoration in sunk relief. To the left, and facing left, are a seated figure of Amun-Re and a standing figure of Mut. Both are accompanied by utterance statements. One of the latter makes a reference to its recipient with the feminine singular, and the same is true of the column of text behind the deities and oriented with them: dd mdw di.n () n.t ‘nh w3s nb 3wt-ib nb mi R’ dt. This column of text is backed by a similar column of text facing right, which indicates that a related scene with opposite orientation once came to the right. Condition: (see detailed report in VF). Left end of slab missing. Two areas of repair with overpaint. One is in and around the lower half of the figure of Amun-Re, which explains the fact that the lower pronged terminal for his scepter is missing. The other repair is in the upper part of the two columns of text to the right. Traces of blue pigment in some hieroglyphs. Traces of white (with some blue along left edge) pigment in Mut’s dress. Traces of red pigment on Mut’s crown and in male figure. Other scratches, chips & incrustations.
