A painted stela depicting seated deities and offering scenes with hieroglyphic inscriptions.

The stela features two main registers, each showing seated deities and individuals offering gifts or making gestures of reverence. The upper register includes a deity with green skin, possibly Osiris, seated and receiving offerings. Vibrant colors, including reds, greens, and yellows, are evident, though some parts of the stela are fragmentary. Hieroglyphic inscriptions surround the figures, intricately integrated into the composition.
