Photograph of a single bifacially worked stone implement fragment with a curved, concave working surface and a dark, flaked edge.
The image shows one small artifact photographed against a light background. It appears to be a roughly oval/curved flint piece with extensive chipping and flaking along the margins. The center area is slightly concave/flattened, suggesting a worked edge suitable for cutting or scraping. No carved decoration, figures, or readable inscriptions are visible. The object does not display any cartouches or formal hieroglyphic bands; no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present.
