Fragmentary, polychrome papyrus with painted human figures in white garments flanking dense vertical columns of hieroglyphs.

The image shows a large, irregularly shaped papyrus fragment preserved in multiple separated pieces, with extensive areas of flaking/brittle paint. Two standing figures in white, kilt-like garments appear on the left and right edges, each facing inward toward the center; their heads are dark with possible headdress elements, and their bodies are rendered in black/brown outlines with minimal color fill. In the center-left area there is a block of densely packed hieroglyphic columns on a light ground; in the central top and middle there is a horizontal band of additional painted elements (including smaller vignettes/figures and dark motifs) separated by blank/preserved margins. Several figures/standards appear suspended within the central horizontal band, but the low resolution and heavy losses prevent reliable identification of specific iconographic subjects and any associated deities. No royal cartouche is clearly legible.
