Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom to Second Intermediate Period, ca. 1800 to 1500 BCE. A shovel-shaped limestone offering table with a raised border and relief sculpture on its interior. These depict symbols of actual offerings such as libation vessels (the depressions visible here) and incense (the long raised lines near the channel). The channel at one end was where offerings could be poured, allowing them to flow into the interior. Offering tables were a central part of cult monuments and tombs in ancient Egypt, part of a tradition that stretched back to pre-Dynastic times. Initially, people would leave food on mats in front of tombs; over time, these became more elaborate, turning into offering tables like this one, placed in the publicly accessible areas of tombs for the living to provide for the dead - allowing the relationship between the living and their deceased loved ones to continue beyond the grave. Size: 9.1" W x 11.4" H (23.1 cm x 29 cm)
