This is a sandstone stela. In the upper part, there is a winged disk with pendent uraei above a mummy in a boat; a jackal is present on either side of the boat. In the middle of the stela, there is a waz sceptre on either edge. On the left side, The [god](https://www.worldhistory.org/God/) [Osiris](https://www.worldhistory.org/osiris/) is enthroned with goddess [Isis](https://www.worldhistory.org/isis/), who stands behind. In front of Osiris, there is an offering table. On the right side, the god [Anubis](https://www.worldhistory.org/Anubis/) presents a standing mummy of a deceased person. The [Greek](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/greek/) inscriptions are seen at the lower part of the stela; they read: "\[Pse?\]nphmois son of Apollos" (another possible restoration of the name is Senphmois).
