decorated block
Pillar with four sides decorated. On the south side, the royal protocol is carved. On the west side in the lower part, the Scribe Nakht with adoration inscription directed to the goddess and in the upper part legs, most probably of the king, can be seen. On the north side in the lower part, the same official with the ḥtp-dj-nswt-formula and in the upper part, legs of running figure, most probably of the king, are represented. On the east side, two embracing female figures are carved, probably Hatshepsut before a goddess.
Copied by the EEF, still on site in 1935.
