A round-topped limestone stela showing a central seated deity/figure beneath a curved arch and flanked by two standing offering/supplicant figures, with a dense register of hieroglyphs along the lower portion.

The object is a small, freestanding limestone stela with a rounded top (a lunette-like arch). Inside the upper register is a large oval enclosing a seated, human-like figure in profile, shown with a raised arm/hand and a simple head shape; the oval is set within the arch. Two flanking figures (left and right) stand facing inward and appear to hold or present elements resembling offering items. Below the central scene, the lower register is filled with closely packed hieroglyphs in horizontal lines, with additional iconography of two bound/recumbent animals or stylized figures near the bottom corners; the space is bordered by horizontal bands. No clear royal cartouche is legible at this resolution. No visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present. The inscription is present but too unclear to confidently transcribe specific names.
