Stone relief showing two standing male figures in ancient Egyptian style, one holding a staff and another holding an implement, with a protective/royal cartouche-like element in the background behind one figure.
The image depicts a roughly rectangular, broken limestone relief with two human figures carved in raised profile. The left figure stands facing right, holding a long staff or pole; he wears a kilt and a strap-like sash. The right figure is larger and faces left; he wears a wig with gathered curls and a tall head element, holds his arms forward, and raises one hand in a gesture. Behind them are carved linear hieroglyph-like signs arranged in columns, including a cartouche-shaped frame behind/above the right figure; however, the individual signs are too worn/ambiguous to reliably read. The overall carving style suggests an Amarna-period funerary/commemorative or tomb-relief context, with formal proportions and intact human anatomy but edges and sign details partially eroded.
