This stone slab is probably an artist's practice piece for a Sed festival scene. Appearing twice, the king wears the Red Crown of Lower Egypt and the special festival robe. He holds the crock and flail. Before him, the seated baboon is the god called the Great White, who represented the royal ancestors. Their blessing was needed foe the successful renewal of powers. From Saqqara, Egypt. Probably 2nd Dynasty of Egypt, 2890–2686 BCE. (The British Museum, London).
