Description
Votive stela depicting a seated Isis, facing left, with an offering table positioned in front of her. This was painstakingly carved into a piece of hard chert, rather than soft limestone, making an identification as a trial piece unlikely. The tool used to engrave the picture was probably made of flint, and the lines show multiple parallel incisions from such a sharp but uneven tool.
