Stone offering-table-like object with a raised rectangular recess or trough and carved raised relief on multiple sides.
The object appears to be a compact, squat sandstone block shaped like an offering table or niche. The front face includes a recessed rectangular cavity/trough with worn interior surfaces. The left side is carved with a vertical column of hieroglyphs in raised relief, while the right/front side shows additional carved banding and geometric lines that resemble parts of a horizontal register. No clearly legible deity iconography is visible in the provided view; the primary identifiable feature is the presence of hieroglyphic carving. Edges and surface details are weathered, with some chips and abrasion. There is no visible modern text or inscriptions in other scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) in this image.
