Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small rectangular, reddish-brown stone stela fragment with incised/raised relief depicting a seated or kneeling male figure before a standing figure, set within a framed register.

The image shows a compact, rounded-rectangular stone slab with darker worn edges and a roughly smoothed front. The surface contains reddish-brown relief against a lighter base, with a top area that forms a wing-like or arched shape. In the middle, two human figures are visible: one appears seated/kneeling on the left (with arms and a garment indicated by modeled contours), while another stands or faces them on the right (head and torso outlined; details are partly worn). A horizontal element near the lower middle suggests a low table/stand or platform. The overall layout resembles typical New Kingdom stela relief composition (figures within a bordered field), but specific hieroglyphs are not clearly legible in the provided photograph.
