A carved funerary stela with a weathered surface, featuring indistinct figures.
The artifact appears to be a funerary stela, composed of limestone and showing significant erosion. The top half of the stela features a rounded top, possibly containing a depiction of a deity or an individual, but details are largely indistinct due to surface wear. Below, the area reserved for inscriptions or additional imagery is too damaged to discern any specific details. The style suggests it might be from a later period of Egyptian art.
