Style Arguably the best executed star table.  The layout is similar to T2, T3, T9, and T10, but the state of preservation and use of colour is superior to all of them.
Note This table has 18 extant columns, so its decan list is curtailed at 30 knmt; however, it is clear that the final batten is missing and likely contains a 19th column, and so would finish with 31 sꜣwy knmt.  Like all other type T tables, it lacks two ordinary decans (19 bꜣwy and 25 rmn ẖry). It also lacks 13 (srt), the only emission of its kind on a T table.
