Small fragments of an Egyptian canopic jar with painted hieroglyphic inscription visible on one piece.

The image shows multiple broken fragments of a terracotta/pottery object, consistent in shape and surface treatment with a canopic jar. One fragment on the upper left contains a compact band of black-painted hieroglyphs on the light, buff-colored ceramic. Another larger fragment below preserves part of a curved painted area. The paint appears dark (black or very dark brown) against the pale clay. No canopic-lid form or internal contents are visible due to fragmentation. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is apparent. The catalogue identifies the piece as inscribed for Senimen; however, the fragmentary hieroglyphs are not sufficiently clear to confirm the specific name “Senimen” or any royal cartouche/complete titulary in the provided image.
