Stele of Nefer-ib-re

ca. 50 BC

Below a winged sun disk, Nefer-ib-re worships Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys. Symmetrically arranged offerings lie on the offering table. The inscription provides Nefer-ib-re’s family tree extending back five generations. His family members served as priests in the temple of Ptah and Sokar-Apis. One line in demotic script has been added to the text.
