To the right is a standing image of Sekhmet facing right. She has a sun disc and uraeus on her head, and holds an ankh in her right hand, and a papyrus scepter in her left. Damaged text above her head.

To the right is an image of Ptah, standing on a plinth and facing right. He has a wesekh collar and a tassel, and holds a was scepter. Above his head are two columns of damaged text.

At the right is the image of a standing male worshipper, facing left. His head is shaved, and his hands are raised in praise. He stands on a lower groundline than the deities. Two columns of text above his head call him "Paser, son of (?) Nebu, True of Voice."
