Stele for Tjembu
In the round top of the stele, the shenu flanked by two udjat-eyes is shown. In the central register are Tjembu and his wife, sitting on a high-backed seat. The man has his left arm around the shoulders of the woman, who is holding a lotus flower to her face. Both are holding a ribbon in their right hand. In front of them is an offering table on the other side of which is a female figure pouring drink from a heset-vase. Two horizontal lines of hieroglyphs are incised under the scene.
