Notes on support and decorationsThe artefact is defined by the editor as a stela. However, as the similar object Kamna 25, it was probably the backs of a throne, as suggested also by the peculiar decoration of standing ibexes in full relief placed on the lateral sides.
The monogram and the symbol are engraved to the left and to the right of the lower band of horizontal grooves.
