A small, roughly oval lump of dark grey mud with an impressed sign or cartouche-like device on one face.
The image shows a compact, irregular piece of dark, gritty material consistent with mud. One side contains a recessed, rounded rectangular/oval impression with an internal sign that resembles a single hieroglyphic character or part of a royal name device; the surrounding surface is chipped and eroded. No clear complete cartouche boundaries or fully legible throne-name text can be confirmed from the provided resolution and wear. No additional imagery, figures, or deities are visible.
