Relief from the tomb of Bakenrenef, wall from small room with texts and niches

Relief from the tomb of Bakenrenef, wall from small room with texts and niches. Dynasty: Dynasty 26. Reign: reign of Psamtik I. Date: 664-610 B.C.. Between the innermost room (see 11.150.5a) and the pillared hall (see 11.150.5b*) was a smaller room whose walls were covered with lists of offerings and magical texts, interrupted by four small niches. These two wall sections (see also 11.150.50d*) formed the southwest corner of this chamber. On the outer edge of each section is part of the frame of a niche. At the top, Bakenrenef is shown worshiping various aspects of Osiris, each represented as a seated figure of the god. For Curatorial Interpretation of this group of reliefs, see 11.150.50a-d-related.
