The blue faience inlays of this game box and the gaming pieces (01.4.1b\u2013h and 01.4.1i\u2013p) were discovered in a tomb at Abydos. This tomb also contained a scarab inscribed with the cartouche of Thutmose III (01.4.5), a papyrus burnisher inscribed with the name and title of the scribe Merymaat (01.4.160), a silver earring (01.4.109) and a painted pot (01.4.85).The original box would have had the game of 20 squares on one side and the game of senet on the other. Only some of the faience inlays were preserved. The ancient tiles are now displayed on a box made of modern wood and the missing tiles have been replaced with modern copies.
