Photograph of a small, roughly rectangular/stela-like fragment of red quartzite carved in relief with a recessed cartouche-like oval and surrounding hieroglyph-like forms.

The artifact appears to be a small block fragment of red quartzite with smooth, polished surfaces and shallow relief incisions. The most distinct carved element is an oval ring containing a central dot/circle, flanked by adjacent vertical and curved signs. Additional surrounding elements are partially preserved, including a curved base form and traces of other hieroglyphic relief on the face. No clear Aten-specific solar disk rays, no complete cartouches for Akhenaten or Nefertiti, and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text are clearly legible in this image. The background is plain white; the fragment is photographed from the carved face, with no other sides visible here.
