- Johns Hopkins University Egyptologist Betsy Bryan interprets as block statue, black granite, inscribed for Ipouy, who describes himself as a "real scribe". Mentions him as "the Osiris", so would seem to indicate statue was intended for a tomb, though most of this type are votives in temples. Glyphs appear to have been done in a hurry. From the Ramesside period, late 19th or 20th Dynasty.
