- Description
-
Limestone false-door of Seni: a small false door in late Old Kingdom style. At the top is a 'cavetto'-cornice with the palm-fronds marked in fine lines; the inscribed area is surrounded on top and sides by a plain torus-moulding. The texts on the lintel and the jambs form a standard ḥtp-dỉ-nsw on behalf of the lector-priest Seni, who is represented, standing, at the bottom of the two outer jamb-panels and, seated at an offering-table, on the rectangular panel above the doorway. The whole is carved in sharp, low relief, the signs being incised in fair style. No colour remains.
