In the middle of the stela, there is a waz sceptre on either edge. On the left side, The god Osiris is enthroned with goddess Isis, who stands behind. In front of Osiris, there is an offering table. On right side, the god Anubis presents a standing mummy of a deceased person. The Greek inscriptions are seen at the lower part of the stela; they read "[Pse?]nphmois son of Apollos" (another possible restoration of the name is Senphmois). From Koptos, Egypt.
