Offering table
Stela of Wesi Decorated Balustrade fragment


The table before Osiris is piled with traditional offerings of food and flowers--perhaps including fowl, fruit, bread, lotus blossoms.


Offerings to Aten often included both food and flowers, but here the offering stands hold only bunches of lotus blossoms. Flowers are frequently shown as offerings at Amarna.
