Transcription

When working on these Seals, the special objects to which they were 

affixed, personal and non personal, one can almost picture the official 

of the various offis/<ce>s of the household and necropolis administration. How 

the bearer of one seal was counter-sunk by another. The various forms 

of the device "Anubis over the 'Nine Bows'" imply a complex system 

of overseeing objects pertaining to burial ritual. Seal (-) ".... Great in 

provisions", identified with the packages of foodstuffs throughout the tomb, 

reflects a Superintendent of the stores.
