The upper hieroglyphs on this fragment read "God's Father," indicating a priestly title. Below this inscription, an attendant is depicted with a head-cone, a type of conical ornament used in ancient Egypt, often seen in paintings and bas-reliefs but only confirmed through archaeological evidence in 2009. To the right, a broad register displays votive food offerings, suggesting the context of this relief served a religious or ceremonial role.
