Alabaster object shaped like a tall house/naos containing a recessed rectangular mirror area with a raised frame and decorative rounded elements.
The image shows a roughly house-shaped alabaster plaque with a pointed top and a recessed rectangular interior. Within the recess, a transparent-looking central panel is bordered by an openwork frame with small rounded pegs at the corners and a horizontal bar across the middle, resembling a support or hinge for the mirror surface. The surrounding alabaster surface is lightly carved or incised with scattered circular motifs and faint outline figures or emblems on the left interior section. A small dark hole appears near the upper point of the shape, likely for suspension. No legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are clearly identifiable, though there are decorative incised marks and ring-like forms. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. Overall condition appears good with some discoloration and minor surface wear; no major breaks are apparent.
