Plaque, Cippus of Horus

With incised standing figure of Horus, facing right as a hawk-headed human figure wearing the Double Crown and holding a sceptre. Behind his head and body is a smaller seated figure, probably Nefertum, who holds a sceptre. Horus stands on something, possibly crocodiles, but there is wear to the stone. No traces of any inscription and back of stone roughly shaped.
