Fragment of a figurine of Tchembou in writing

This fragment of a figurine in limestone, which comes from the excavations of W. F. Petrie at Abydos, represents the scribe Tchembou who is seated on a socle, his legs crossed. He holds in each hand the rolled up edge of a papyrus, which contains, in four columns, an offering formula addressed to "Osiris, Lord of Abydos", in favour of the "scribe Tchembou". The piece dates from the beginning of the 18th Dynasty.
