A limestone Egyptian stela shows a seated standing figure with an offering table and an extensive field of carved hieroglyphs.
The object is a rectangular limestone stela with a rounded top edge and a weathered surface. On the left register, a human figure in profile wears a distinctive wig/hat and a long kilt and holds offerings toward a small offering surface before him; a second figure or object is not clearly separable, but the main readable element is the standing/person presenting offerings. The remainder of the stela is densely filled with carved hieroglyphs arranged in rows across most of the right and central area, with some signs forming vertical columns and others in horizontal lines. No legible cartouche or royal name is clearly identifiable at this image resolution/clarity. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
