Stele. In the stele is only the tablet is inscribed; seated figure at a table of bread, in front of his face and above his head are some inscriptions (in relief) perhaps his name and titles.

North of the stele are two registers.
Top register "is a presentation scene", showing men carrying gifts.
Bottom register showing some inscriptions, but mostly weathered (the gypsum fallen away).

North of these two registers are two more registers.
Top register showing jars and bowls perhaps for keeping food??
Bottom register; "dancing scene" figures with hands and legs raised, so perhaps they are dancing.
In the decorations are preserved red, yellow, green and white colors.
Perhaps there is a third register below that last one, but wholly destroyed.
Below that destroyed register there are no inscriptions at all, also on north and east, of the chapel.
