Round topped stela, with 3 registers. Registers 1-2 show incised offering scenes and are organised in a symmetrical design. In register 1 the figure on the left is the largest, adoring Osiris wearing the atef-crown, with his son and brother behind him. On the right the figure adoring Osiris is slightly smaller, but is likely the owner as he is the one mentioned as the recipient of the offerings in the lengthy inscription. He also has a son behind him. In the second register there are two symmetrical scenes of couples seated at an offering table, both with two women seated on the floor behind them. Register 3 contains a 15-line incised inscription, including offering formulae and details about various festivals.
Main persons shown: a (A) mw - Amu?, deceased owner of the stela; Hjj - Hy/Huy, father of the deceased; Wsjr - Osiris, god.
