Fragment from a stela showing a man, whose name is lost, seated before piles of offerings. To his right, facing him, are two women named in the hieroglyphic inscriptions as his daughters Minemhat and Semathornebetiunet. The style of the cutting and the arrangement of the figures are typical of the fine products of Abydos sculptors in the 12th Dynasty.
