[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: Unfortunately the name of the produce is [b]too weathered[/b] to be clearly readable...[/QUOTE]Ditto. I can barely make out some of the other signs, save for the kneeling figure handing/holding out some good/material, a figure which appears to be a stick, two bird figures, and possibly legs(?). Similar situation with the outline of a cartouche above; the outlines of the bird figures are obvious enough, but not as much with what could be the pictograph of mountains(?), or a bar-like(?) figure flanking what appears to be a wavy (water-like)(?) figure/line, which in turn is followed by yet another bar-like pictograph(?). I intend to eventually take a closer look at what these letters are relaying, to the extent that I can make out the letters. [QUOTE] but the figure holding a bowl or basket full of some substance behind the prostrate figure would indicate a powdered or granular substance. The first sign of the produce is [i]ntr[/i], Clayton and Trafford suggest a reading of [i]Sn-ntr[/i] (incense), as this was a produce of Yam referred to by Harkhouf. Having had a good close look, I'm reasonably convinced that no more than one sign could be after [i]ntr[/i], the other patterns are simply weathering. This would not fit [i]sn-ntr[/i], however there is an alternate reading/produce, [i]ntr-y[/i] (a kind of Natron). We do know that Natron is a key produce of the Chad region to this day...[/QUOTE]'ntr' strikes me as word that is generally associated with the neteru/deities; is it serving that function here, aka divinity/sacredness, even if the the various words that incorporate it may mean something more? Linking the word to some sort of a Natron (possibly used in body preservation, like in mummification) may suggest an idea headed in that direction; no? [/QB][/QUOTE]
