Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

A small blue fragment with roughly rectangular break edges, photographed on a patterned background with a small handwritten label below it.

The image shows a single small fragment in shades of blue, likely a glass piece based on its color and translucency-like appearance, with irregular chipped edges and a somewhat blocky shape. Faint dark marks or scratches are visible on the fragment’s surface, but no clearly formed hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other readable characters can be distinguished at this resolution. Below the fragment is a paper tag with handwritten characters reading “X881” (with a leading X), oriented horizontally. No other inscriptions, cartouches, deities, or clearly recognizable iconography are visible.
