A fragment of painted wood. 21st Dynasty (1070-945 BC) from a door or coffin. In the middle of the scene is the god Heh kneeing on the sign for gold. He holds up the ankh (life) and the sign for renep (the year). This fast is on a tadpole bade (number ), seated on the knot shen (eternity). The iconography is a clear allegory to the eternal life. In the hieroglyphic text appear the nomen and the praenomen of Amenhotep patron god of the artisans living at Deir el-Wledina, most probably the site of archaeological origin of the Item.
