This stone bas-relief fragment pictures a funeral procession of priests presenting lotus flowers, geese, and an offering table. This relief can easily be dated to the New Kingdom from the way the subjects hold and offer flowers and fowl, as was so often portrayed in tombs of Dynasty 18 and 19. But it can be more accurately traced stylistically to the first half of Dynasty 19, due to the curvature and elongation of the heads which are typical to the reign of Seti I and Ramesses II. The fine detailing on the bodies and garments is reminiscent of Haaby God of the Nile in the statues of Ramesses II. These bodies, strong yet thin, with graceful bearings and long legs, carved with a razor thin line, are the work of a truly exceptional school–-definitely not run of the mill work using the established patterns of the classical art.
