Catalogue Description: One of four green glazed faience plaques from the lining of the subterranean chamber in the pyramid of King Zoser at Saqqarah. The plaques are oblong and undecorated. On the underside of each is an oblong ridge which is pierced apparently to facilitate attachment to the walls of the chamber. Number B and C have each a hieroglyph on the reverse doubtless as guides to the workman. Condition, each tile is slightly chipped and on the rear are remains of plaster.
