The relief was found by Swedish archaeologists in the region and shows the combination of two deities, namely Amen-Re and Thot.

Other discoveries from the dig include a relief showing the transportation of two obelisks, which is said to date back Queen Hatshepsut’s days, as well as a sphinx-shaped statue.
