A limestone stela fragment with carved Egyptian hieroglyphs and a relief scene showing a standing male figure offering or presenting items to a seated or enthroned figure.
The object is a rectangular limestone stela with broken left and right edges and a missing or worn upper portion. The face is filled with dense incised/relief hieroglyphic text arranged in horizontal registers and lines. On the left lower portion, a human figure stands in profile, wearing a fitted garment and headdress, holding or offering an object toward the right. The right side includes an enthroned or seated figure in relief, though the exact identity is unclear from the visible detail. No cartouche name is clearly legible at this resolution; the inscription appears continuous across the surface but specific royal epithets cannot be confidently read. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
