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 stela. From
