A small limestone relief fragment with shallow incised traces of an image and a few hieroglyph-like marks on one face.
The object appears as a weathered, horizontally placed fragment of carved stone (likely limestone), photographed on a neutral background. One side shows shallow, worn relief/engraving and a small cluster of incised signs near the center; however, the marks are too eroded to read confidently as specific hieroglyphs or to identify a clear royal name or deity. No legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. There is no clearly preserved cartouche, and no distinct iconographic figure (e.g., fully identifiable god or king) can be confirmed from the fragment as photographed. Overall condition is fragmentary and moderately worn.
