5903_5904.JPG

At the top, a winged sun disc is depicted, underneath which are five columns of carved inscription. In the register below to the left is Amun-Re, a goddess and another deity, facing Montu-Re and a goddess. Amun is wearing the double crown with feathers and the falcon-headed Montu-Re a sun disc with uraeus and double feathers. They are both holding was-sceptres. There is an offering table between the two groups of figures. In the bottom register on the left is the upper part of a figure of Amenhotep I and the head of Ahmose-Nefertari.
