A painted limestone lintel panel showing a central standing/enthroned male figure identified by iconography as a king, flanked by multiple animal- or human-headed figures and winged/serpent-like protective deities. Surrounding registers are filled with incised/painted hieroglyphs.

The object appears to be a long, rectangular lintel with a horizontal band of figural scenes separated into compartments. In the center, a king-like figure wears a traditional kilt and a nemes-style head covering (exact details partially obscured), facing forward. On either side are standing deities/attendants: at the left and right edges are human figures with staffs/implements, and near the outer areas are symbols and stylized protective forms consistent with Egyptian temple decoration. Above and around the figures is a dense field of hieroglyphs rendered in relief/paint. The pigments (faint traces of red/ochre) remain on some figures and signs. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. While the catalogue claims Amenemhat I with Nekhbet, Horus, Anubis, and Wadjet, the image resolution does not allow confident identification of each deity or the king’s cartouche; however, the overall royal-and-deities arrangement fits the lintel type.
