Wooden funerary stela
Painted with winged disk, the deceased offering to Osiris, Isis, Nephthys and Anubis. Pynefabastet (the deceased) invokes the dun god re-Harakhty but appears before the above gods. His son's name is Basenmut and his mother's name is Esmut. The heiroglyphs are formal writing, in this case a dedication to the gods.
