Limestone statue group showing a seated/standing pair of Egyptian figures holding their hands close to the body, with a vertical column of hieroglyphs between and behind them.

The image depicts a worn limestone sculptural group of two human figures facing forward. On the left, a male figure with a short wig and smooth facial features stands with arms held down and slightly away; on the right, a female figure with a headscarf/covered hairstyle also faces forward, wearing a long garment and holding her hands together or close to the front of her body. Between them is a central vertical register/column containing carved hieroglyphic signs, including a top row of rectangular/arch-like signs and lower stacks; additional fragmentary signs are visible on the central column. The base is broken and uneven, with surface abrasions and dark stains from age. No clear Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
