Abstract
This brief communication concerns a published wooden manacle* kept at the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung in Berlin. The object, of unknown provenance, entered in the Museum collection in 1900 through a purchase made by L. Borchardt from the antiquities dealer Butros Abd el Melek of Qena. The manacle bears on both sides a one-line hieroglyphic inscription, giving the name and title of its possible owner: Nebamon ‘The soldier of the company of Pharaoh’. In order to better understand the function and use of the analysed artefact, a comparison with the available visual and written documentation is offered. Concerning the date, all of the information gathered points toward the first half of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
