A depiction of a person bending over beside a scene with hieroglyphic inscriptions.
The artifact is a fragmentary stone piece featuring a human figure engaged in an action, possibly agricultural or labor-related. Next to this figure is a scene enclosed in a rectangle with hieroglyphs resembling baskets or offerings.
