Base deeply incised. In the center is a figure of a falcon headed deity with two plumes on his head (evidently month of Hermonthis) , with another falcon-headed solar deity on either side of him. The two crude signs above each of the side deities may represent (neb)
“Lord”, and the solar disk. Below the three gods, who wear kilts, and have their hands by their sides, is (neb).
