Stela of Senu Adoring Osiris

A limestone stela with an arched top, carved in low relief. On the left, the seated god Osiris, crowned and holding a crook and flail, receives a standing man in a kilt who raises his hands in adoration. Hieroglyphic columns and offering scenes fill the lower register.

Look closer: A winged sun disk is carved above the scene in the upper left, partly worn.
