The stela of Djari is a typical product of the 1st Intermediate Period: both the human figures, shown with the right arm behind the torso, and the hieroglyphic signs in sunk relief are rendered in a rather crude fashion. Apart from the offering formula and a brief autobiography, this funerary monument bears seated representations of Djari, an official at the Theban court of king Intef II, and his wife, a priestess of Hathor.
