Fragment of painted wood, with underlayer visible. Yellow background to scene with red border across top, featuring side profile depiction of a male, with an inscription above his head, possibly reading "[... amun], born of [..]". The object is unusually shaped (rounded at the bottom), like that of a coffin footboard, or the top of a stela. The right side of the wood has a protruding part within which two dowels are attached, indicating that this was part of a larger piece, likely shaped in the same manner on the other side. A white 'plaster-like' substance is visible in parts on the underside.
