Limestone relief fragment showing an enthroned/praying human figure before a large upright column-like element, with surrounding vertical hieroglyphic lines on the left.

The image depicts a broken stone relief fragment, likely from an architectural parapet. A large, upright rectangular/wedge-like section (possibly a column, stela element, or framed motif) occupies the center-right, though a substantial portion is lost to a break. On the left, multiple vertical lines of incised hieroglyphs are visible, bordered by the relief’s carved frame. In the lower left, a kneeling/standing figure is carved in profile facing right, holding an offering object; the figure’s head and upper torso are preserved, but the lower extremities are damaged. Near the center-right, the broken upright element shows a few carved signs/ornament traces. No clearly readable royal name cartouche is identifiable from the fragment as shown. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. Faint traces of tool marks and plaster/dust are present due to the break and surface wear.
