Ostracon of Prince Sethherkhepshef

The Ostracon of Prince Sethherkhepshef is a painted limestone figured-ostracon of the son of Ramesses III. It is a standing, figured profile of Prince Sethherkhepshef in an adoration pose, with outstretched arms, a sceptre in his left hand, and right hand, palm-forward. Behind Sethherkhepshef in a standard layout of figures and writing, is a vertical column of hieroglyphs reading "king's son of his body, his beloved" with his name appearing at the end.
The ostracon was discovered in the Valley of the Queens—specifically in tomb QV43, built for the prince during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. The discovery was made during the period of Ottoman Egypt, and the artifact is now housed in the Museo Egizio, Turin, Italy.
Egyptian ostraca were used for artist's sketchings, cartoons-caricatures, letter documents, school-practice writing, and graffiti. This particular ostracon may be a sketch by an artisan working on the prince's tomb.
