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.
Photograph of a slender, dark metal stick with a broad, triangular head at the top and a narrow pointed/rounded end at the bottom; no inscriptions are visible.
The image shows a single elongated object centered against a light, textured background. One end of the object forms a wide, triangular or flared top, while the other end is narrower and rounded to slightly pointed. The surface appears dark and metallic with uneven sheen, but no clear decorative elements, relief, or attached blade/knife edge is distinctly visible in this view. There are no readable hieroglyphs and no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text present. The object matches the general silhouette of a metal implement described as a long Kohl stick with a knife on one end, though the presence of a distinct knife blade is not clearly confirmed from the image provided.
