Hardly anything can be ascertained about wb3 nswt w°b “wj ‘royal wb} clean of hands’
Nensemekhetef. The only remains attesting to him is a fragment of a limestone door¬
frame in Florence (No. 6397), which originates from his tomb at Sheikh Abd el Qurna
in the Theban necropolis, probably from the 18" dynasty.°? Only the upper left corner
of the doorframe is left, which must once have been located in the interior of the tomb,
based on the vivid colours of its decoration. Under the cavetto cornice, the left half of
the panel depicting a double adoration scene can be seen, with the figures of the tomb
owner and his wife, Mutnefret, adoring Osiris sitting on a throne. The inscription above
the figures names the persons, as well as the deity. A small part of the left doorjamb also
remained, with the beginning of htp-dj-nswt formulae on them.

of a jackal, the figure of which appears in the lunette of the object. The two ears pre¬
sumably hold an offering formula, only the remains of which can be seen. In the field
