Darstellung:

 Horizontally arranged; the name of the god Jmn-R˓ (Keel 1995: § 642, 643, 644, 645, 646, 647, 648, 649, 650), on the left nfr (Keel 1995: § 459) and ˓nḫ (Keel 1995: § 449) „perfect of life“; this combination is very rare; more common is nfr ḥs(wt) or ḥz(wt) „perfect of praise (or rather blessing)“; cf. Keel 1997b: Tell el-˓Aǧul Nr. 553; Keel 2010: Bet-Schean Nr. 117; Hornung/Staehelin et al. 1976: 311 no. 605; it is possibly a forerunner of similar combinations appearing on a scarab and on some molds for faience finger rings from Amarna, where the god‘s name is often that of Aten (cf. Petrie 1894: pls. 15,122; 16,161-164); cf., however, Hornung/Staehelin et al. 1976: 268 no. 385; Boyce 1995b: 70 fig. 2,13 (9021); for Amun as giver of life see Keel 2010: Bet-Schean Nr. 130.
