CBS Register: Fragment of a frieze from an ancient building in the neighborhood of Mar'ash, Asia Minor. Horse in full gallop (mere fr.). presented by Dr. Haynes in 1892
Quartzite inscribed block decorated on one face with five scenes showing Akhenaten with his eldest daughter Meretaten. The block originally belonged to the pylon gateway of a royal "sunshade" or solar chapel dedicated to the worship of the Aten. This building was ornately decorated with inlaid faience, now missing, composing the figures of Akhenaten and Meretaten, as well as most other parts of the decoration. The sunshade chapel was a relatively small, probably single-chamber, building that would have originally stood on a raised podium inside of a larger building.The inscriptions state this building to have been located " in Akhetaten" - the capital city of Tell el-Amarna. This piece was part of what was once a larger block that included the door frame and lintel of the left side of the chapel pylon. It was cut down during the reign of Merenptah (Dynasty 19 ) when the block was reused as a plinth for a sphinx. Inscriptions on the edges of the block have the titulary of Merenptah and the epithet:"beloved of Ra-Horakhty in Heliopolis". The reused block must have stood in a temple at Heliopolis. It was reused a third time as a door threshold in Medieval Cairo. It was recovered from the Mousky area of Cairo in 1899 by the Egyptian Service des Antiquites and sold to Mr. Jones Wister of Germantown, Philadelphia.

Limestone fragment with painted raised relief. Image of the head of the king facing right, wearing the Red Crown. Behind him is a group of hieroglyphs reading "All protection and life are behind him." The sA and xA signs are painted green, the anx is painted blue, and the f viper is red. At the upper left corner of the block is a raised area of three parallel lines which may be the top of the wing of a bird positioned above the king.

Romano: "Overlifesized, frontal anthropomorphic relief head with asymmetrical features. Round face with large protruding eyes with sharp ridge above left eye and thick ridge for upper lid on right eye. Left eyeball protrudes with no indication of iris or pupil. Right eye is largely broken off but seems to be set lower. Very large bulbous nose with large drilled nostrils. Flattened gouge beneath nose. Thick parted lips with deep channel between. Rounded chin with cleft. On top of the head to the left side and separated from the forehead by a drilled channel are two protruding clumps covered with individual rounded raised elements, probably grape clusters. At the top of the head and behind the clusters is a flattened, slightly sloping finished surface. Back of the head is broken off; a roughly finished sloping surface survives at the top of the head on the proper left."
