Fragment of a stela from Deir el-Medina

This small limestone fragment (LB 1375) of 3,1 x 3,6 x 1,2cm probably once belonged to an ancient Egyptian stela. The text indicates that it came from Deir el-Medina, a workmen’s village during the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC). The stela to which this fragment belonged probably dates to the Ramesside Period (1292–1069 BC).
