Two tall limestone name-panel/stelae from a mortuary complex are shown side by side, each decorated with incised/relief hieroglyphic registers and a bird-like or falcon-headed figure above an offering scene.

The image shows two adjacent, vertically oriented carved stone panels. Both panels have a stepped, rectangular back with multiple horizontal bands. In the upper section there is a winged/falcon-like bird figure (or similar) rendered in relief, oriented toward the center. Beneath it are framed hieroglyphic blocks/registers and simplified offering or symbolic elements; the lower parts are less legible due to damage and lighting. The carving style and layout suggest a Middle Kingdom mortuary name-panel composition: stacked registers of text and iconography. The surfaces show wear and breakage, with missing portions along edges and the lower area of the right panel. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible; any inscriptions appear to be Egyptian hieroglyphs only, but most individual signs are indistinct at this resolution. A detached fragment of carved stone stands in front of the right panel. The museum catalogues the object as a 'Name panel from mortuary complex of Senwosret I' from Lisht South; the visible iconography and Middle Kingdom stone format are generally consistent with such a label, but the specific cartouche/name of Senwosret I is not clearly readable in the provided image, so precise royal identification cannot be confirmed visually.
