Hi Jim,

 

Great pieces, very nice but the inscription seems to be in a secret Egyptian language ;-).

 

wn - agree

nb - agree (cloud also be k in this period, the handle was not always depicted)

p - agree

wpwAwt - I have some doubts here (no tail), could also be an small unknown sign and beneath it the walking legs D54.

and then

I searched name references but nothing comes up. It is possible that the writer did not know what to write, this was not uncommon in the Ptolemaic period. Perhaps he tried to write Wennefer the birth name of Osiris. Well I hope you findan answer to this riddle, if so please let us know, they are beautiful.

 

Carpe diem,

Dik
