A fragmentary piece of pottery (ostracon) with visible inscriptions.
The artifact is a pottery shard displaying several lines of text, typical of ostraca used in ancient Egypt for writing notes or exercises. The inscriptions appear to be hieratic, indicated by the cursive nature. The surface appears brownish and smooth, suggesting it might have been a common type of pottery used for such purposes.
