The image features a funerary stele adorned with an intriguing Greek inscription and a cross embellished with Alpha and Omega symbols. This fusion of cultures is truly fascinating, as it reflects the influence of both ancient Greece and Egypt on this artistic piece. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this archaeological artifact. The stele stands proudly indoors, serving as a testament to its historical significance.
