The exhibit label reads ” With hands raised in a gesture of worship, a figure stands before an assortment of offerings including lotus flowers, a leg of meat, a goat head, and a wine vessel. Offering scenes like this were common on Egyptian tomb walls and funerary stelai, but the table that must have supported the offerings here would be much larger than many others shown on similar reliefs.”
