Painted limestone relief fragment showing portions of Egyptian hieroglyphs or decorative signs in blue and traces of red paint.

The image shows a roughly triangular/irregular limestone block fragment with broken edges. The surface preserves painted decoration: several blue-painted signs and partial outlines are visible across the front face, including a large central blue shape that could be a hieroglyphic sign but is too incomplete to identify with certainty. Near the lower corners there are small red-painted marks resembling partial handprints or decorative elements, while the rest of the painted areas are faded, with white/gray abrasion from wear. No clearly legible cartouche or full figure is visible; only fragmentary painted sign forms are preserved. The overall appearance matches a relief painted in situ, consistent with the catalogue description of a Middle Kingdom relief fragment.
