  • Sculpted in sunk relief, this sandstone fragment shows a pharaoh facing right, wearing a broad collar and either the Red Crown or Double Crown fronted by a uraeus. He presents a Sbt (clepsydra or water clock) to a goddess, of which only the lily-topped scepter remains preserved to the right

    The Sbt appears in the form of a baboon seated against an obelisk, while the bases of two cartouches are visible above the scene
