620-112 Loaves of bread or (?) cakes

A number (a dozen or more) loaves or cakes of semicircular form were found distributed among the miscellanea of this chamber. They no doubt were originally placed in a basket, box, pan or the like, but disturbed by the tomb-plunderers or officials during or after robbery. These loaves or cakes vary in size: Max. size 13 x 7 x 5 <> 5 7 13 Min. size 9.5 x 4 x 2.5 cents. and were enclosed in a mesh of rush-work: suggesting the <> nb-hieroglyph. While the loves themselves might even be <> the T-hieroglyph.
