Tera-Netjer was an early Egyptian official or courtier of the 1st or 2nd dynasty . It is only occupied by a greenish tile , which was discovered around 1903 by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie in Kom el-Sultan near Abydos . Tera-Netjer appears on this artifact as a thin man with short hair and a long walking stick. According to the brief inscription he was "head of the house of the residents of Anu in Hemen". Petrie describes the find as "unusual", as only two artifacts of this type have been discovered from this era .
