Excerpt from the poster:

Stela of Psusennes: The large stela (commemorative decorated stone) shows a high priest called Psusennes making an offering to the gods Osiris, Horus, and Isis (from right to left). To compensate for their large scale, the sculptor has depicted the figures overlapping slightly. Osiris stands in the background, his sceptres partly hidden by Psusennes, who is presenting a tit-amulet (a protective charm in the shape of Isis’s girdle). The amulet was probably added later, which may explain its crude carving in contrast to the other finely executed scenes.

21st Dynasty, about 950 BCE. Tomb D22, Abydos, Egypt. Limestone.
