Not all funerary stelae made for women were as modest as this one, which was not carved but decorated only with paint. This example is shaped like a shrine, with an architectural molding and cornice, and an offering sign consisting of a loaf of bread on a mat. A pair of wedjat-eyes, symbolic of wholeness and protection, surmounts this composition underneath a short prayer to Osiris, god of the dead, for the "Mistress of the House," Horemheb.
