About the Item
Sculpted in sunk relief, this superb sandstone carving features 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 her lily-topped scepter is preserved to the right. The Sbt is represented as a baboon seated against an obelisk, and we can see the bases of two cartouches preserved above.
Notes
The Sbt offering is mainly presented to goddesses, primarily lioness-headed ones. The lily-topped scepter is also associated with lioness-headed goddesses (see T. Handoussa, "A propos de l'offrande Sbt," Studien zur Altägyptischen Kultur 7).
