Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
Small, dark gray mud lump or sealing fragment with an impressed oval/rounded cartouche-like mark on one face.
The image shows a small, irregular piece of dark gray material consistent with mud. One side preserves a recessed, stamp-like impression: a rounded/oval field containing vertical and curved strokes resembling hieroglyphic sign forms (possibly part of a throne name/cartouche impression). The surrounding edges are rough and the artifact appears broken, with most detail limited to the central impressed area. No figures of deities are visible, and no clear accompanying text beyond the impressed sign pattern can be read. The overall form and single impressed face are consistent with a document sealing or stamp impression fragment rather than a standalone inscription panel.
