Painted limestone relief fragment showing a standing male figure and a smaller companion figure in front of a stylized Aten/solar radiance motif, with partial hieroglyphic text to the right.

The object is a rectangular limestone relief panel, heavily weathered but retaining red/brown and gray pigment paint. On the left, a set of long, radiating lines descends from above toward a figure, visually resembling the Amarna-era solar disk and its rays. A large standing figure occupies the center-left, shown in profile with a distinctive wig and raised arms/gestures associated with offering or adoration. A smaller figure (likely a daughter) appears at the lower right with a hairstyle that is different from the main figure, facing toward the central scene. The right side is filled with partial, vertical and horizontal hieroglyphic signs in dark pigment; however, the signs are too abraded/incomplete for reliable identification of specific names or an Aten determinative. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
