Dispute Over a Hut
Fragmentary limestone ostracon with a hieratic inscription recording the resolution of a dispute over a hut inherited by the workman Wennofer. The inscription is unusual in being incised and filled with blue frit, a technique used for formal hieroglyphic inscriptions. Perhaps Wennofer set this ostracon into a wall of the disputed hut like a stele.
New Kingdom, 20th Dynasty, reign of Ramesses III, ca. 1186-1155 BC. Limestone, from Deir el-Medina, Western Thebes. Now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. AN 655
