A small, rough stela with faint red inscriptions and a raised face feature.
The artifact is a small, rectangular stela made from a brown, sandy material. The surface is uneven, with a rough texture, and there are traces of red pigment which appear to form inscriptions. A raised, almost sculptural element resembling a face is at the top center of the stela. The composition suggests it may serve some religious or votive purpose.
