Fragment of a granite lintel with the decoration carved in sunken relief. It represents Thutmose III running with a ḥp.t-oar before Amun-Ra seating on a throne. Above the figures right fragment of winged sun disk can be seen. According to L. Gabolde, both figures are re-worked which can indicate that originally the royal figure was that of Hatshepsut.[1] The epithet of Amun, ḥrj st wr.t, may suggest that the door in question was a door to the sanctuary.[2]
