A small, roundish, ancient Egyptian artifact made of brown material.

The artifact is roughly oval in shape and appears to be made of a brown earthen material, possibly clay or limestone. It has a somewhat rough texture and displays signs of age, with a notable indentation on one side. The artifact is marked with a red number, suggesting it is part of a collection or catalog. The texture and color suggest it might have been used or processed in some way, although its specific function remains unclear.
