A limestone fragment with faint carvings of figures and hieroglyphs.

The artifact is a limestone fragment that shows faint carvings, likely depicting standing human figures, possibly in a procession or ceremonial stance. The carvings appear to be quite worn, making detailed interpretation difficult. It appears to bear remnants of hieroglyphic inscriptions, though these are faint and difficult to distinguish. The style and composition suggest it might belong to a wall relief or larger architectural piece.
