Limestone offering table of Hʒb-nsw: a simple offering-table with two deep depressions in the front for offerings and a shallow depressed panel behind.

The reading of his name, which is written in two different forms is uncertain, possibly Hʒb-nsw. There has been some surface disintegration in the depressions. The back has ben sawn off. No colour remains.
