Photograph of a broken carved stone relief fragment with weathered surface and partial incised/raised decoration on one face.
The object is a small, irregularly broken rectangular-stone fragment showing a carved field on the front face. The stone appears reddish-orange with darker speckling and black mineral inclusions, consistent with a granitic or granodioritic material surface; the edges are heavily chipped and abraded. Within the preserved area there are faint, roughly vertical and curving carved lines or bands, but they are too eroded to reliably read as specific hieroglyphs, royal titulary, or figures. No clear traces of a cartouche border, deity attribute, or complete sign list are visible. There is no legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. Overall, the image supports the catalogue description as a relief fragment in stone, but the exact Middle Kingdom subject and any inscriptions cannot be determined from this view.
