Physical description
A rectangular slab, possibly from a wall, which has been smoothed at the back to a convex surface with scaring marks along the edges.
The slab preserves parts of three vertical lines of text, flanked by parts of other panels. The right hand panel has a series of inscribed rectangles one on top of the other, separated by a gap from a series of four more rectangles, each of these inscribed with a diagonal cross. The inscription is in raised relief and seems to have been part of the standard offering formula.
