Description: | Round-topped funerary stela. In the lunette, there is a winged sun-disk with three columns of inscription (offering formula) directly underneath. On the left hand side of the stela, there is the hawk-headed Re-Harakhty, depicted mummiform with sun-disk and uraeus on his head, holding a was-sceptre and standing on a dais. An offering table stands before him. On the right hand side is a female, Nesy-wer, wearing a short wig, necklace and long see-through gown, one hand raised in adoration. Red paint remains on the sun-disk and body of Re-Harakhty and on band painted across bottom. There are also remains of yellow paint in the inscription and the woman's necklace.
