In this stone bas-relief fragment, a king offers two small nw (fresh offering) jars. He wears a nemes headdress protected by the cobra, and is pictured with a straight beard, which indicates that he his a ruling king. The offering of nw jars tells us that he is making an offering to another king treated as a god. During the New Kingdom, there was a sharp expansion of the cult of kings as gods—some after their death (Ahmose I, Thutmose I), others even during their lifetime (Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep III, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Ramesses III). The style of this relief is typical of the New Kingdom. The profile of the king suggests that he may be a member of the Ramesses family—possibly mr-n-ptah, 13th son and successor of Ramesses II.
