Stele of Shepsipumin for his mother
Rectangular stele with an uneven surface,
showing the deceased sitting on a seat with a low back and animal-paw
legs. Under the seat are her personal objects, a coffer on which an
unguent bottle and a mirror are placed. The woman wears an ankle-long
tunic. She is inhaling the scent of a lotus-flower and is reaching towards some bread slices laid on an offering table beside which are the head of an ox and a basin with a jug for ablutions.
On the upper right there is a hieroglyphic inscription.

Translation
An offering that the king gives to Osiris [in all his seats:] a funerary [offering:] bread and beer for [...]uttkheses[...]. Thousands of bread loaves, thousands of beer jugs, thousands of alabaster vases, thousands of cloths; it is her eldest son Shepsipumin who has made for her (this stele).
