Seated ram-headed deity in bronze. The god wears a shendyt kilt. Both hands are held, clenched in fists, atop his knees. A break atop his head indicates that he was once crowned with some object, probably a solar disk. If so, he might be identified as either Amun-Re or Khnum-Re.

Limestone relief. In sunk relief, a genre scene; at left women with tambourines and shouting boy before a tree, apparently engaged in driving off a flight of birds. One very large bird with a long tail and outstretched wings rising from tree. Bird obviously tropical but cannot be identified. No fruit or foliage indicated on tree, but possibly these details to be painted. The tree suggests relief is unfinished. Apparently a unique subject. Condition: Edges chipped as is left end. Ancient red pigment on face of front woman, in part on her tambourine and on the dress. Also on skirt of boy, the paint is mostly ancient and on hands at left top. Ancient paint on entire body of bird. Remains of original blue paint on branches of tree, especially at lower right. Slight remains of still another tree at upper right edge-probably a grove of them was represented on next block to the right.

Bold sunk relief in sandstone of a standing woman. The figure faces left with raised right arm, horizontal left arm holding a life-sign in hand. Rising from a modius atop a wig adorned with a fillet is the lower portion of a crown consisting of tall plumes fronted by cow's horns, and presumably, a solar disk. Around the fillet is coiled the body of a cobra whose head and spread hood rise before the figure's head. The figure wears a broad-collar necklace, represented in relief, and a tight dress starting just below the breasts and ending in a scalloped hemline. Remains of pigment indicate that the dress was painted blue with a central vertical panel of red. Areas of red pigment are also found on the figure's face, chest, and arms. Blue-green pigment indicates armlets and bracelets were painted on the figure. Before the figure is a partially preserved column of hieroglyphic text. Figure and text are framed at the side by raised border lines.
