Ostracon of a stone mason
Stonemason at work, on one side, uraeus and inscription on other side. The stone mason is a stubbled man with a chisel in hand. He has his head thrown back and appears to be singing. On the reverse the scribe Imyshe, son of Nebnufer, offers to the snake goddess Meretseger.
