Description: | In hieroglyphs, at top: Seth of Nebti, lord of provisions, great of strength, powerful of arm.
In hieroglyphs, to right of altar: [word missing] of Amun, Anhotep. This is the title and name of the stela's donor.
In hieroglyphs, at bottom: Made by the wab-priest of Amun, the chief of the craftsmen, Nedjem. This unusual inscription seems to name the man who made the stela, or who supervised the workshop where it was made.
Stela dedicated to Seth, the god associated with storms, nightmares, the desert, and disorder. The stela is intact except for its upper right edge, which is broken off. Seth is shown standing before an altar; he has a human body and the distinctive face of the 'Seth animal', a mythical creature with squared-off ears and a curved snout. He wears the double-crown associated with kingship, and carries a staff in the form of the hieroglyph 'was', meaning 'power'.
