Carved in sunk relief showing the cartouche of Ramses X, with partial relief of seated Osiris to the right, and an offering jug below to the left. His reign has been variously given as ranging from three to nine years. His tomb (KV 18), just beyond Seti I, has never been properly explored. Another known inscription from Aniba in Nubia has his cartouche. A very rare relief for one of the earlier kings.
