New light on S3-Rnnwtt,Ṯ3wy,‘the royal cup bearer’ (UC69964) *

Abstract

This paper presents the first known publication of a curved mud brick, kept at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, London (UC69964). The museum does not have any documentation for this object in its archives. In this brief communication, I assemble the archaeological context for this brick. My method for its tentative reconstructing is based on the identification of another brick of S3-Rnnwtt, Ṯ3wy of the late Eighteenth Dynasty at the Egyptian Museum Berlin (15704), and some other published objects of his.
