This funerary stela, belonging to the royal Scribe and Overseer of the Royal Harem, Ptahmose, contains four separate offering prayers to Ptah-Soker-Osiris. Above the main text, Ptahmose himself appears, worshiping the god. The form, style, and text of the stela point to Memphis as its place of origin.
