| Notes on support and decorations | Limestone stele, the inscription covers almost all the face. On the top it is possible to see some mortises, grouped in four group by two, quite certainly for the fastening of the four statues cited in the inscription. On the frontal face, in the upper right corner, lies, in relief, the symbol of the god ʾlmqh. The last line of the inscription is centred and sided by two rosette, one for each side. |
