King is wearing a royal kilt, with a lion's tail at the back. The name in the cartouche has effaced, which is typical of these. It probably dates from the 25th Dynasty, but was reused (and the previous name effaced) during the 26th Dyn. Around the 8th and 7th BC. Most of these plaques are from Memphis.
