Significant stele with an arched top, decorated in the arch with a winged solar disk flanked by two cobras. Below, the god Amun seated on a throne, dressed in a short loincloth and the red crown topped with two ostrich feathers and a solar disk. He holds in his left hand the Was scepter and in the right an Ankh sign. In front of him a rectangular plaque, which was supposed to bear an inscription perhaps painted, is empty.
