Fragment of a painted limestone relief bearing dark pigment hieroglyphs on a small rectangular surface.
The image shows a roughly rectangular, broken stone relief fragment with one prominent, larger face. Dark, painted marks form a vertical line of hieroglyphs near the center-right of the visible face; additional smaller signs appear lower left. No figures of deities or human royal portraits are clearly present in the photographed portion—only hieroglyphic text is visible. The background stone is light gray, consistent with limestone; the pigment appears black or very dark, suggesting painted decoration.
