False Door Stela of Nisuredi

This rectangular limestone stela comes from the Old Kingdom, Dynasties 4-5, ca. 2613-2345. It shows Nisuredi seated at table of offerings in window recess. On the central panel Nisuredi is standing. His name appears on the drum above, his name and titles are on inner columns, and prayers line the outer ones. This stela provides an interesting example of how hieroglyphs could be mirrored and have different orientations.
