Stone fragment carved as a human head with a headcloth/helmet-like headdress, shown in close-up against a dark background.
The image shows a carved stone “royal head” with prominent facial features and a stylized headdress covering the sides of the head. The forehead and brow are smoothed with incised details in the hair/headdress area; a semicircular fold/strap-like element is visible near the temple and cheek. The surface is weathered with darker spots consistent with old grime or tool marks, but no clearly readable hieroglyphs or cartouches are apparent in this view. No modern labels or text overlays are visible. The object appears to be a single carved limestone piece with rounded contours; edges show breaks consistent with fragmentary condition.
