Horizontal wooden object shown in side view, resembling a simple roller/cylinder-like artifact with worn, weathered surfaces.
The image presents a single small, elongated object photographed against a light background. It appears cylindrical or barrel-shaped with rounded ends, oriented left-to-right. The surface is brown to yellow-tan with visible cracks, splits, and abrasions consistent with age and handling wear. No carved decoration, relief, or painted elements are visible. There are no clearly readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions apparent on the visible surfaces. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The photo does not show any attachments, handles, or ends with distinct iconography; the artifact is visually uninscribed and unadorned in this view.
