Ostrakon of The Tale of Sinuhe. Probably from Thebes, Egypt. 19th Dynasty, around 1250 BCE. The eight lines of hieratic script on one side of this ostrakon are a copy of the final lines of a classic poem of Egyptian literature, probably a copy made by an apprentice scribe. It is also inscribed with the colophon, the indication that the end of the text has been reached. A number of small red dots in the text are what is known as 'verse points', and mark the ends of lines of verse. 17 x 29.5 x 5.2 cm. Inv. EA 5629.
