MAFRAY-Darb aṣ-Ṣabī 8
SUPPORT INFORMATION
| Support type | Artefact » Incense burner (mfḥm) |
| Shape | With truncated pyramidal base |
| Material | Stone |
| Dimensions | h. 18, w. 13, th. 11 |
| Notes on support and decorations | Although in the text the support seems to be defined as an incense burner (mfḥmn), there is no trace of a top for burning the incense. This object could actually be a truncated pyramidal altar with angular feet. On the right of the text there is a high letter Q, probably part of a monogram, although Robin prefers to consider it a symbol, as the presence of a monogram in a dedicatory text would be unusual. |
