Description

Lower portion of a votive stela. In the upper portion stand three male figures facing right. All three hold was-scepters. The two on the right of the group have short kilts, and their legs are apart, and they may be gods or deified kings. At the right stands a worshipper, dressed in long robes and sandals.

In the lower register, five columns of text are positioned at the left. At the right is a kneeling worshipper, whose long billowing kilt extends across the bottom of the text. His head is shaved, and his hands are up in praise. The text as read by Shulman was dedicated by the :Royal Butler, Ramesses-sami-Iunu (?)."
