Small, irregular fragment with remnants of colored glazed decoration consistent with an inscribed tile or decorative faience fragment.
The image shows a small, broken fragment photographed against a neutral gray background. The surviving surface has a glazed, faience-like sheen and includes distinct color zones: off-white/cream areas along the left edge, a dark blue/indigo triangular patch at the upper portion, and green paint/glaze forming curved, petal- or leaf-like shapes across the lower half. A thin, outlined green form appears to border the green areas, suggesting part of a larger decorative motif. No clear hieroglyphs, cartouches, or figure outlines are legible in the provided view. No modern or non-Egyptian scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible.
