Niche stone with five figures

A woman stands alongside four men shown in the same pose but clothed differently. They wear either ankle-length or short kilts and bag wigs – except for one of them who is bald. The woman in her form-fitting dress wears a long wig. On the left short side there is an offering formula calling upon the god PtahSokarOsiris.
