Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2022-09-26), "Description should be 'incised platter', provenience is uncertain house, Deir el-Ballas. This type of ceramic ware, a flat-based platter with rim, incised with geometric and/or faunal decoration, is found exclusively in domestic contexts. The function of these platters is unknown, but they are not "offering tables" which implies a ritual usage.
