Fragment of Stela of Ptolemy the Sixth on a Horse

The stela, an upright stone with a sculpted surface, has a round top, of which only the left part remains. At the top is a winged solar disk with two cobras.

King Ptolemy the Sixth is shown riding a horse and holding a throwing spear. Behind him, the goddess Isis holds the Ankh sign of life. On her head, two feathers flank the solar disk. On the left side is a Latin text.
