From the Museo Egizio record
In the upper register, Tjanuni and his wife Mutiry worship the king of the netherworld: “Giving praise to Osiris, kissing the ground for the lord of eternity…”. In the middle register the couple, seated on a dais, receive offerings from their son, the scribe Hatiay, in the role of a sem-priest clad in a panther skin. The lower register contains a long offering formula. On this stela, Tjanuni bears the title of “great confidant of the Lord of the Two Lands,” which bespeaks his intimate and direct relationship with the king. Dimensions: 47 cm x 112 cm x 9.5 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 2 / Room 05 / Wall. Image views available: 3.
