Carved in sunken relief, this limestone slab shows a male offering bearer walking to the right. He holds three papyrus stalks in his right hand and a basket containing four loaves of bread in his left. Although the loaves appear above the basket, they should be understood as its contents. This offering bearer was part of a larger procession, with traces of objects on either side.
