Stela showing the deceased as a mummy being presented to Osiris by Anubis and Hathor. The mummy appears again above, on a boat with lotus terminals, between two dogs or jackals, below the winged sun-disc with pendant pair of uraei. Beneath the scene a line of demotic has been carved. These features are characteristic of the early Roman Period, when the Pharaonic religion remained in force but the hieroglyphic script was little used.
