The figure, dress and wig styles present on this stele are typical of late Dynasty XVIII. The fleshiness of the torsos corresponds to the period of Amenhotep III, but the long limbs show Amarna influence. For a family stele of an officer now in Leiden with a similar subject, composition and style see no. 92, p. 70 in Schneider, Life and Death Under the Pharaohs.
