Stele of the Dignitary Nefer

This stele depicts an offering scene with the dead man seated at a table. A long inscription in hieroglyphs contains a funerary formula followed by a list of all the gifts that the offerer, symbolically presented as the king, is giving the dead man for his journey to the underworld: bread, water, food, incense, cosmetics, milk, grain, vegetables, fruit, sweets, fabrics of different kinds and sizes, plus “1000 calves, 1000 young antelopes, 1000 cranes, 1000 geese.”
