Photograph of a very small, narrow object fragment with a yellowish-brown exterior and a label card beneath it showing inventory numbers.
The image shows two main elements: (1) a small elongated fragment lying horizontally near the top-center of the photograph, with a dark central line and a yellowish-brown surface at the edges, suggesting a broken piece of a thin artifact; (2) a white paper label card beneath the fragment with handwritten black characters/numerals reading “37-416E”. No visible Egyptian hieroglyphs, cartouches, or decorative figural elements are apparent on the fragment itself at this resolution. The background appears to be a neutral grey fabric or matte surface used for catalog photography. The fragment’s form is consistent with a small implement component (e.g., a hairpin fragment), but no definitive hairpin features can be confirmed from the image alone.
