Description: | Limestone stela (a carved, flat piece of stone), with an ear carved on one side. This is an example of a 'hearing ear' stela, which was made as an offering for special shrines on the outskirts of temple walls. People who were not allowed to enter the temple could go to these 'hearing ear' shrines to pray and leave offerings.
