Fragmentary papyrus inscribed on both sides with dense, horizontally arranged cursive text (likely Demotic) in dark ink.

The image shows a narrow vertical papyrus fragment with extensive losses along the edges and some central tearing. The surface is covered with multiple lines of dark, cursive script that run horizontally across the sheet; the script appears uniform in style across the surviving areas, consistent with a formal documentary text. A faint impression or matching alignment of lines suggests both sides are inscribed, in line with the catalogue description of a two-sided written papyrus. No clearly legible Egyptian hieroglyphs, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are discernible at this resolution. No explicit depictions of deities or royal iconography are visible; the fragment seems purely textual.
