This granodiorite offering table of Nesptah was made in the Twenty-sixth Dynasty, about 650-640 BC, discovered possibly from Thebes.
The massive offering-table has inscriptions with the name Nesptah, the son of Montuemhat. The texts also request offerings of food as part of the funerary ritual, with images of foodstuffs carved in relief on the top. Nesptah succeeded his father in the important offices of the mayor of Thebes and fourth priest of Amun, but only survived him by about ten years.
