A painted limestone stela shows several standing figures and a central god-like figure wearing a distinctive headdress, surrounded by columns of hieroglyphs and iconographic scenes.

The image depicts a tall, rounded-top rectangular stela made of light-colored stone, heavily worn/chipped at the lower and right edges. The surface is painted in red, ochre, green, and black, with multiple registers of figures. A central, larger standing figure dominates the upper half: it wears a rounded, multi-element headdress including a prominent disk-like element and a striped collar, and extends one arm forward while the other is held closer to the body; behind/near the figure are vertical and horizontal hieroglyphic signs in dark ink. To the left and right are smaller standing figures with red-orange skin tones and pale garments, shown with raised hands and holding/gesturing toward a seated or smaller figure at the left side. In the lower register, additional standing figures flank a central group; there is also a small seated or kneeling form near the center. Along the bottom and across the midsection, clusters of hieroglyphs are visible but many individual signs are too worn to identify confidently. No clearly readable cartouche or full royal name is discernible from the provided resolution. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
