A carved limestone stela fragment showing vertical registers of hieroglyphs and a central figure or emblem-like motif on the left, with damaged edges and shallow relief.

The image shows a roughly trapezoidal fragment of pale limestone with carved decoration in low to medium relief. The surface is dominated by hieroglyphic signs arranged in vertical columns; to the left there is a larger, more figurative element that could represent a person seated/standing or an emblem-like form, but the details are incomplete due to breaks and missing portions. Several signs appear to include strokes and wedge marks consistent with hieroglyphic writing; some ring-like elements and short horizontal/vertical strokes are visible in the middle area. The lower portion includes additional vertical sign columns, though much is eroded. No clear full cartouche outline, royal titulary, or deity icon (e.g., crowned gods with distinctive attributes) can be confidently identified from the fragment as photographed. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
