An arched gray limestone stele, or stone slab, features two horizontal registers carved with figures in profile. The upper register centers a table piled with offerings between a god wearing a tall, double-feathered headdress and a goddess with a sun disk and horns. Below, a kneeling man named Neferrenpet raises his hands toward columns of hieroglyphs, a pictorial writing system. The stone shows surface wear, particularly across the central figures.
