Rectangular painted limestone stela of Renefseneb. It records the traditional prayer in Middle [Egyptian](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Egyptian/) for an invocation offering (bread and [beer](https://www.worldhistory.org/Beer/)), whereby the recitation of the words would provide sustenance for the deceased, taking the place of actions and actual offerings.
