Pediese kneeling and pouring libation

Late Period–Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 130

The small statuette represents a person pouring libation on an offering table. On the back pillar, the inscription reads: Osiris Wennefer who causes Padiese, son of Paftjau (?) to live. His short-cropped hair (or a skull cap covering it) suggests he is a priest.
