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.

Two limestone fragments joined or shown together, incised with Egyptian hieroglyphs arranged in multiple registers and bordered panels, with a human figure in one section holding implements.

The image shows two adjacent limestone slabs with weathered edges and shallow incision of hieroglyphic signs. On the left fragment, hieroglyphs are arranged in box-like rows; in one register there appears to be a standing human figure depicted in reddish-brown pigment residue (or a remaining pigment area), holding a long staff or implement in one hand and raising the other arm, surrounded by surrounding phonetic/determinative signs. On the right fragment, hieroglyphs continue in dense, closely spaced horizontal lines, suggesting a longer inscription or scene-caption text. No clearly legible cartouche or royal name is visible at this resolution; likewise, no explicit deity iconography (e.g., specific animal-headed forms or canonical divine attributes) can be confirmed. There is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. Painted traces are visible in limited areas (notably reddish-brown on the left), consistent with the catalogue’s mention of paint. Overall, the carved text indicates a formal, commemorative inscription consistent with a jubilee-themed program, though the specific thirty-year jubilee wording cannot be read with confidence.
