Notes on support and decorationsAccording to the editor, there is a frame of dentils on the upper side of the stela which is not visible on the photograph. Probably, the object had the same upper decoration of horizontal grooves, dentils and bull heads as the other stelae from Jidfir ibn Munayḫir (cf. e.g. YM 18344 etc.).
