Rectangular offering basin dedicated to Senenu by his son Akhethotep. Offering formula (htp di nswt) runs counter-clockwise beginning at top right corner. Translation (C. Keller in Thomas): "An offering that the King (and) Anubis, who is before the divine booth, gives: burial in the western cemetery, (after) a very fine old age, with the great god [for] the royal acquaintance and inspector of wa'b-priests, Senenu; the controller of phylae-members, district administrator and prophet of (Khufu), Senenu. It was his eldest son, the inspector of ships, controller of young work-gang recruits, inspector of wa'b-priests, controller of phylae-members, and district administrator, Akhethotep, who made this for him.
