The scene on this stela depicts the infant Horus standing on crocodiles and holding ferocious, little beasts in each hand.
The stela is also inscribed with a set of thirteen spells against poison and illness.
The inscription around the base contains a portion of the myth of Isis and Osiris, describing how the infant Horus was cured of poison by Thoth in the Delta marshes.
The stela was carved for the priest Datum during the reign of Nectanebo ll. It was placed in the temple of Osiris Mnevis in Heliopolis.
