Top part of a round-topped limestone stela with sunk relief decoration and incised texts. Seated man on left who holds a lotus. Standing woman on right. Between them an offering table which stands on the foot rest of the man. Inscription defaced by scratches. At the center of the upper portion of the stela is a faint winged sun disc, which seems to have been sanded off, perhaps indicating that this stela was reused.
