A gray limestone stele, or stone slab, features two horizontal bands of carved relief beneath a rounded top. In the upper register, two seated figures face right toward a person extending his arms over a table of offerings. Ten vertical columns of hieroglyphics, a pictorial writing system, fill the lower section. The textured stone is heavily worn, with visible chipping along the lower right edge.
