Abstract
O. Birmingham 1969W71 is a very well preserved mid-Twentieth Dynasty ostracon belonging to the class of so-called ‘ostraca-stelae’. It shows two men in proskynesis in front of a unique iconographical composition of Mertseger and Ptah. While the captions added to the scene identify the men by their names and titles and additionally mention another individual not visually represented, they do not provide any information regarding their mutual relationship. Taking two graffiti as point of departure for the investigation into the ostracon, the present article will reconstruct the prosopography of the men named and demonstrate the agency of single individuals in matters of personal religion in Ramesside Egypt.
