A small, broken ceramic pottery vessel fragment with traces of red pigment and a few incised marks on the face.

The image shows a sherd-like fragment positioned above a scale/ruler. The fragment appears to be a flat piece from a larger vessel (predominantly rectangular with rounded/irregular edges), with a smooth surface and visible thickness consistent with ceramic pottery. On the upper portion of the face there are red markings (possibly pigment or painted decoration) and a small cluster of dark line/incised or impressed marks near the red area. The lower section is relatively plain aside from a vertical, darker stroke or line near the center. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are visible at this resolution. A museum label with “MANCHESTER 1824” is present on the scale card, but it is modern/English and not part of the artifact’s inscription. No identifiable deities are depicted.
