Gravestone of the Hare, Limestone, chiseled, reliefs, Limestone, Total: Height: 34 cm; Width: 25 cm; Depth: 7.5 cm, Grave equipment, funerary monument, tomb, burial place, Osiris, god of the underworld, ritual practices in the Egyptian religion, The small-format gravestone stele has a semicircular upper finish. While the back has been roughly worked off, the finely smoothed front has a relief in the upper section and extensive vertical and horizontal inscriptions. The left side shows an extensive eruption, the right side has bumped edges. The relief shows a sacrificial scene which is repeated in mirror image on both sides of a vertical line. Only the used casting vessels are different. Depicted is a standing Osiris in the shape of a mummy, wearing a collar with a neck flower, the crown of Upper Egypt with feathers on the sides and a beard of the gods, and holding a long crosier reaching down to the ground with both hands. On the left is Osiris Hare, on the right his son Nesamun. Both are shown in fine clothing, on their heads they wear a half cone. In front of them is an offering table with a libation. The inscriptions name the figures as Nesamun and his father Hare, the chief overseer of the scribes of the Pharaoh's barns. In line 8 of the inscription Amon-hotep is probably the founder of the stone and son of Nesamun. The inscription below is a prayer for the deceased to the gods Osiris, Horus, Isis and Anubis, in which the deceased is wished to share in the benefits that the dead enjoy in Abydos, the place of Osiris' tomb. According to the names of the gods, the founder comes more from Memphis than from Thebes, which would also explain the figure of Osiris, which is similar to Ptah. Translation of the inscriptions (H. Schreiber Berlin, 25.10.1919): To the left picture: Above Osiris: Osiris, Lord of Ro-sezaw, great God, Lord of truth. Above the man: On the side of Osiris, supreme of the guardians of the writings of the two granaries of Pharaoh, Hori, blessed. Betwe.
