Rectangular stone plaque bearing an incised Greek dedication inscription on a light surface, with an irregular break at one edge.

The image shows a horizontal, rectangular plaque made of a light-colored stone (appearing consistent with marble in the catalogue), with one side chipped and the corners worn. The front face is covered with incised characters arranged in several lines. The script is clearly Greek, with letter-like forms and diacritics; however, the exact wording is not fully legible due to wear and erosion. No Egyptian hieroglyphs or cartouches are clearly visible in the provided image. The inscription dominates the surface; there are no clear figural depictions of deities on the visible face. The museum catalogue title states the dedication is to Isis, Serapis, and Apollo by a person named Komon for the benefit of Ptolemy IV and V; in the image, specific names cannot be confirmed with high confidence from the worn inscription alone.
