Round-topped stela of the year 20th of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Below the winged sun-disk, the date is carved and two scenes are represented, on the left Thutmose III turned right offering nw-vases before Hathor Lady of Turquoise, on the right Hatshepsut turned left offering bread before Onuris-Shu. Prenomen of Hatshepsut remaines untouched. In the lower part of the stela 11 lines of inscription made by the Scribe Nakht with a short biography of this official and a list of offerings.
Copied and photographed by the EEF; de Buck saw it in 1930 'in front of small cave', i.e. in the Hall of Sopdu; in 1935 only the upper part was preserved.
