Carved limestone relief fragment showing seated/standing figures associated with funerary/ritual scenes and partial hieroglyphic elements.

The image shows a horizontally oriented limestone relief fragment with multiple incised figures arranged in a row. On the left, a vertical hieroglyph-like element appears beside a standing figure with an outstretched/raised arm; a partially preserved head and torso indicate an attendant or offering-related character. In the center, a seated figure is depicted on a low support, facing forward, with legs and arms suggested by the shallow carving; above or near the upper part of the figure are box-like and banded motifs that resemble cartouche-like or protective/architectural signs but are incomplete. On the right side, another standing figure with raised arm is preserved, and further blocky signs occur near the edge. The rightmost area is badly broken, and the composition continues beyond the fragment. No clear royal cartouche or personally identifying inscription is fully legible, and no explicit deity iconography (e.g., specific crowns/attributes tied to a known god) is confidently identifiable from the visible portions.
