squarely on the top of the crest of the helmet of the lower figure.
The artist did not deem it necessary to chisel out the feet; indeed
they are not even indicated in outline, probably for the reason that
they could not be seen when the Stele was standing erect and in
position. The legs are merely straight lines. The right hand is
raised aloft, and holds a round object with something projecting from
it vertically on the right side from the standpoint of the spectator.
Under his left arm he holds a large object, which projects 0.75 m.
from the face of the stone, and is 0.45 m. in diameter. This object
reaches to his feet, but diminishes in size and relief, until at the foot
the relief is very slight. On his head he wears a grand tiara, with
four divisions or bosses.

The whole height of the Stele is 7.23 m.; width of Stele at bottom,
2.75 m.; width of Stele at top, 1.65 m.; thickness of Stele at top,
0.82 m. The bottom of the Stele is buried, and its bottom thickness
cannot be ascertained without digging.
