Owners: Nebanensu and Amenhotep – Nb ann sw & Imn Htp < br /> Material: Sandstone. Dimensions: H: 50cm, W: 38cm, D:7cm. Condition: good, with traces of colors remain. 2. Description A painted arch-topped rectangular stone slab funerary stela, divided into three main parts: the Lunette and two registers. A horizontal line separates the two registers of the stela, while its edge is surrounded by a single thin line. All figures and hieroglyphic inscriptions are executed in shallow sunk relief featuring inner details. The stela follows the classic style of stelae which appeared and became widespread in use since the Middle Kingdom. The same style and probably by the hand of the same artist who engraved the stela CG 34035. The back of the stelae (the verso) was usually polished with no scenes or texts ; rarely was it left rough.
