A small brown flint stone artifact shaped like a triangular scraper, photographed against a plain light background.
The image shows a single small worked stone piece with a roughly triangular form. One face appears darker brown with visible weathering and shallow tool marks or flaking along edges. A lighter whitish patch is visible near the lower-left/central area, possibly from chips or remaining cortex. No carved decoration, tool handle, or attached hafting is visible. Near the top edge there is faint red/brown residue-like marking (likely modern annotation or lighting artifact), but no clear hieroglyphic engraving is visible. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present.
