A painted, arched Egyptian stela depicts a seated male figure adoring a standing, enthroned deity represented with a falcon/solar context above and hieroglyphic columns filling the center panel.

The artifact is a small, arched stela with a predominantly white plaster ground over which colored painting survives. In the left register a human figure with a red-brown skin tone sits on a low-backed chair, wearing a green collar/neck ornament and a red garment; his arms are positioned in an attitude of adoration toward the central divine image. In the center upper area the deity appears as a standing figure within a decorated, throne-like frame, with multiple vertical rows of hieroglyphs surrounding/behind it. To the right of the center is a second seated/standing divine or auxiliary figure rendered in pale yellow/green with a feathered element, facing the central register. Behind or around the divine imagery are large fan-like wings or rays in green and red-brown tones. The lower band shows a patterned floor or base with a dotted/fringed design. No clear Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible; the inscriptions appear to be Egyptian hieroglyphs but are too small/partially damaged to transcribe accurately from this image.
