A small terracotta funerary cone with a reddish-brown exterior and impressed/painted hieroglyphic inscription on its face.
The object is a rounded terracotta cone/frustum shown from the front. Its surface has dark reddish-brown firing color with a slightly lighter orange band near the top. The main face is covered by incised or impressed hieroglyphic signs arranged in vertical lines, though the exact reading is not fully legible at this resolution. No cartouche or clear royal name is distinctly identifiable. A small modern inventory label with printed text is visible beneath the object, but it is not part of the ancient inscription. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic script is visible. The presumed inscription is hieroglyphic and relates to funerary practices; specific deity names cannot be confidently extracted from the image.
