ABSTRACT

The blocks in the scenes do bear the building name gm p3 ’Itn, the name which appears in all the positive Sed-festival scenes, but there is at least one unmatched talatat which seems to show part of the building name rwd mnw or tny mnw, and comes from this type of scene. The scene under discussion has been selected as a possible Sed-festival scene because of the inscription, the occurrence of the building name gm p3 ’Itn and the depiction of the priests with various divine objects and standards. The whole scene is clearly one showing various people, probably soldiers in this case, and foreign envoys paying homage to the king and for that reason it is included as a possible Sed-festival scene, since homage scenes appeared in both the Abu Gurob and the Bubastis reliefs.
