Vertical fragment of a painted Egyptian shrine or shrine element with columnar hieroglyphic text running down the center.
The object is a narrow, tall rectangular fragment, likely part of a larger shrine casing or panel. The surface is heavily worn but retains painted traces in dark ink/black and reddish/orange pigment against a light ground. Along the front face there is a continuous vertical register of hieroglyphs arranged in rows, consistent with an inscribed shrine component. The edges are broken; the reverse or attachment parts are not clearly visible in this view. No clear royal titulary, complete cartouche, or deity figure is identifiable from the fragmentary inscriptions; only partial signs can be seen. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
