Boston Museum of Fine Art. Limestone false-door of Kha from his Giza tomb G 7211, dating to the 6th Dynasty. The offering table is from Ny-Ka-Nisut's tomb (G 2156 dating to the 5th Dynasty) and is in the shape of the Hetep hieroglyph which translates to "offering" of "to offer". The false-door and offering table were a standard pair for chapels in the Old Kingdom and were used for offerings to be made to the Ka of the deceased.
