Ptah stands at the left, facing right. He has a tassel at the back of his neck, and holds a was scepter. He lacks an incised ground-line and does not have a shrine. On the right side of the stela is an image of the lioness-headed Sekhmet, who faces left. She wears a uraeus and holds a badly damaged scepter. There is an offering table between the two gods.
