Fragment of an Egyptian stela showing painted/drawn hieroglyphs and a large winged or animal-like figure in profile on the main register.

The image shows a weathered stone stela fragment with a rounded-top left edge and a right side broken. A small portion of a top border is visible, followed by a central, horizontally oriented register containing a large outlined figure—possibly a stylized animal or winged symbol—drawn in black with red accents (notably on some border/lines). Above and below the figure are bands of hieroglyph-like signs in black ink/paint. A horizontal line separates the central motif from a lower band of signs. The lower band contains multiple rectangular/linear sign groups, though individual sign identification is not fully reliable from this angle/resolution. No clear cartouche or royal titulary is legible. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The overall palette and style are consistent with painted decoration on limestone/stone, though the exact material cannot be confirmed beyond stone.
