Description

Fragment of wooden half circle, with incised drawing of king smiting foe. The incised lines are filled with a blue pigment. The king wears a blue crown with uraeus and holds a captive kneeling before him by the hair. A cartouche names him as Djeserkare (Amenhotep I). The broken edge of the object is straight; the top edge is curved - the original possibly was semi-circular. It is broken on both sides. Notes in the slipbook read: "It may not be ancient however", and "Doubtful authenticity". A pencil inscription on the rear appears to read 'Amenope' however the end of it is covered by a sticker.
