Painted stela with multiple standing human figures and extensive bands of hieroglyphs filling the upper register and around scenes.

The image shows a rectangular stone surface with a dark border. The top portion is covered by dense hieroglyphic bands, arranged in horizontal rows. Beneath these bands are one or more painted registers depicting figures in profile/stance: at left, a standing person with red-painted skin tone, wearing a kilt and holding an object (possibly an offering or implement). Other smaller figures appear in the middle register, including a seated or semi-seated figure and additional attendants/figures. The scene at center includes a vertical, column-like element (possibly part of a doorway/pole or shrine-like structure). In the lower register, a larger full-body standing figure at left raises one arm toward the central area, while a seated figure and smaller attendants appear near the middle. Overall, the surface is pale with red pigments and the faint remnants of additional colors; the hieroglyphic text is visible but too unclear to reliably transcribe. No clear Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
