Catalogue Description: Small limestone stela inscribed on both large sides. The stela is round-topped, and all four sides taper in somewhat towards the top. The bottom edges and corners are also rounded. One of the surfaces bears two registers of representations. The upper register contains the representation of a boat with unfurled sail floating upon a band of water containing four fish. The lower register bears the representation of a man kneeling with his arms up before him in an attitude of adoration. Upon his shoulder rests a flail. Before him is a double offering table above and below which are offerings. Border lines enclose both registers (except at the top). On opposite side, in upper register is a figure of Osiris seated and facing left towards an offering table. On the other side of the table is a standing man wearing a long skirt and wig, and holding his arms up before him in an attitude of adoration. Between, and above these two figures is an inscription. In the lower register, to the right is an offering table and offerings. To the left of this table is a kneeling woman, with her arms up before her in an attitude of adoration. She wears a long transparent dress, and a long wig surmounted by a lotus. Above and before her is the inscription. Before her stomach are signs. Behind the woman stands a man with a long skull, and wearing a long skirt. His arms are up in adoration. Above him is text; before him is text. The technique of the representations is that of a poor shallow sunk relief. All edges are chipped. Condition: On first side the top of boat's mast is not preserved, and there is a large chip behind the kneeling man. The surface on this side is blackened.
