The inscription was found by Aspelin in 1888 on a sloping foothill terrace in the Aldy Bel valley. It is located on the right bank of the river Enisei, around seven kilometres west of the village Eilig Khem and approximately three kilometres east of the river Kuilug Khem, a right tributary of the Enisei. For a long time, the inscription was believed to be the broken part of Aldy Bel I (Kormuşin, Mozioğlu, Alimov, Yıldırım 2016, 76-78). Positioned 5 metres from Aldy Bel I, the inscription consists of two vertical lines on two opposite sides of the stele. The order of the lines is uncertain. The monument was found severely damaged. It is still at its original location. It measures 95 x 29 x 13-18 centimetres.
