This miniature plasterrelief depicts a king, who is possibly the Roman emperor Trajan, offering to the ram-headed Amun and to Hathor with a quadruple face. The ram of Amun and the Apis bull are depicted standing on altars. These probably represent cult statues. The entire scene has been set in an elaborately decorated architectural frame with cupolas or arches, which resemble the architecture from the second century AD at Dendera.
"[1] King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Lord of the Two Lands, Pharaoh, [2] may he live for ever." "[3] Amun (further signs are obscure)" "[4] (the signs preceding Hathor's name have been largely destroyed) Hathor"
