Rectangular painted plaster stela showing an Egyptian male figure standing and offering hands toward a seated/standing smaller figure, with surrounding hieroglyphic inscriptions and vertical text columns.

The image depicts a flat, rectangular, brown-orange painted surface. A large standing man is shown in profile, wearing a simple garment and a head/neck element; his arms are held close to his body as if offering or presenting. Beneath/near his figure are smaller human figures and/or a second person rendered at smaller scale. Numerous dark hieroglyphic signs and vertical inscription columns fill the background and flank the figures; a few sign groups are too small or worn to read precisely. There are no clearly legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions visible. No royal cartouches are confidently identifiable from the image resolution. Condition appears worn with flaking and abrasion of the paint layer, consistent with an excavated painted plaster object.
