Description

Third drum from the top of the western column of the South Portal. This drum has four partial columns of text continuing the titulary of Merenptah from above. On the drum's northeastern face is an image of Osiris, carved in frontal raised relief into the block. This is a secondary carving, and though Fisher found the face, it was not brought to the museum.
