Fragment of a small earthenware vessel with incised/relief decoration resembling vertical and diagonal bands.

The image shows a single broken ceramic fragment placed on a dark background, above a museum label/scale. The fragment is light reddish-brown and appears to be pottery. The visible surface includes incised lines or shallow relief forming curved/zigzag-like bands in the upper left and a set of mostly vertical strokes extending downward, separated by a few thicker outlines. No readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or script are clearly visible; the markings look primarily decorative rather than legible text. No deities or royal names can be securely identified from the photograph. The object is fragmentary, with the rim/base shape not fully preserved.
