The stela is almost square. Within a simple frame, Iku is depicted sitting on a chair with lion's legs. In front of her is an offering table with loaves of bread. She is wearing a long smooth wig and a close-fitting dress and she is sniffing a flower. The proportion of the chair in relation to the woman is not quite right. On the right side of the table the head of a calf is placed on a tray. The text is written in two framed lines above the representation.
