Painted wooden coffin fragment showing a standing male funerary figure with a distinctive white/blue face and black hair, flanked by vertical panels of hieroglyphs and a bird-like figure on the right.

The image shows a curved, rectangular coffin-fragment form with worn yellow/gold paint. A standing human figure is centered: it has a stylized face (light/white with dark outlines), black hair or a dark head element, a blue/green collar or chest adornment, and a kilt/white lower garment. The figure’s arms are positioned downward along the body. Two vertical borders divide the surface into sections; on the left and right are columns and fragments of painted hieroglyphs, rendered in dark lines over the yellow ground. On the right side, a bird-like symbol is painted near the mid-to-lower portion; beneath it are additional glyph fragments. Portions of the paint and inscriptions are abraded and fragmentary. No legible cartouche or royal name is clearly identifiable. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
