Small orange-red carved/fragmentary inlay piece shaped like a jackal-headed deity figure, with a frontal head and a patterned body area.
The image shows a single small object photographed on a light gray/blue textured background. The object is an orange-red material with a rounded top and a protruding jackal-like head silhouette. The front face includes a central vertical/rectangular element resembling an upright uraeus/wadjet-like form or facial/diadem detail, with faint engraved bands and paneling across the torso. The body appears to taper slightly and ends in a flat base; fine surface wear and minor chips are visible. No clear cartouche or royal titulary is present. Below the object there is an identification label written in black pencil/marker that reads something like “371/736E” (handwritten, not an ancient script). No hieroglyphic text, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic inscriptions are legible on the object itself in this image.
