A carved black-stone relief/figure shows a hawk with outstretched wings, wearing a decorated collar and what appears to be the double crown motif on its head/upper body.

The object appears as a rounded, roughly rectangular slab of dark (black) stone with a carved hawk figure in relief on the right side. The hawk stands with legs apart and one foot slightly raised, wings spread, and a long tail extended downward. A broad, decorated collar or mantle surrounds the neck/chest region, and a crown-like element is carved over the upper head/neck area; the exact identification of the crowns (Upper/Lower Egypt) is partially ambiguous due to wear and the simplified carving, but the form is consistent with royal/cultic crown symbolism. The left portion of the slab is mostly plain stone, with the carving concentrated on the right. No clearly legible carved hieroglyphic text is visible on the face shown, and there is no discernible Greek/Coptic/Arabic writing.
