A framed, weathered relief cast showing outlines of royal figures beneath an oval disc and faint surface incisions resembling an Amarna-style family scene.

The image depicts a rectangular plaque or relief cast within a dark border. Incised linework is visible across the surface: at the center top there is a large circular/oval element (suggestive of an Aten-like sun disc) from which radiating lines extend downward toward the figures. On the left and right are paired profile silhouettes with characteristic Amarna proportions (elongated bodies/heads), while several smaller upright forms beneath or between them may represent princesses or attendants; the lowest details are too eroded to confirm specific poses or attributes. Around the composition, there are additional faint linear marks that could be residual hieroglyphic practice lines or decorative border elements, but no legible signs can be confidently extracted. The surface is largely monochrome gray with traces of pigment and plaster texture consistent with a modern cast.
