stelae

Stelae were often placed in temples as an offering so that the god would answer your prayers. Some worshippers, as here, carved ears on their stelae in the hope that the god would hear their prayers better. So that the god knew who was calling they also usually wrote their name on them. This one was 'made by Ta-wahy'.
