A carved stone (diorite) relief block shows a seated/nude male fertility figure standing in a register with an offering table, flanked by dense vertical hieroglyphic inscriptions.
The object is a rectangular relief slab with weathered edges. On the right side, a large human figure with exaggerated fertility features (nude torso/pose) stands or is shown in a striding stance while facing inward toward a decorated offering table; a pair of hands/arms reaches toward or holds elements on the table. The table is segmented by panel lines and has rounded/ornamental forms. Around and behind the figure, multiple short vertical and horizontal hieroglyphic lines fill the surrounding left and right margins. A smaller secondary head/figure appears in the upper right background, partially obscured by damage. The left margin is dominated by a tightly packed column of vertical hieroglyphs. There is no clearly readable cartouche or royal titulary visible at this resolution. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
