An orange carved plaque depicts a central standing figure wearing regalia, flanked by two smaller figures and surrounded by incised symbols and figures.

The object is a translucent orange/orange-red carved plaque with raised/incised outlines forming a ceremonial scene. A central bearded deity-like or royal-like figure stands facing forward beneath a canopy-like frame; the figure holds a staff or implements and wears layered garments and a headdress. To either side are two standing attendants or subordinate figures holding long staffs/wands and wearing similar stylized garments. Behind/around them are decorative elements including columnar bands of hieroglyph-like marks, sunburst-like motifs, and a ground or register line. The carving is shallow but clear enough to show multiple incised figures and symbol bands, consistent with an Egyptian votive or cult relief. No clear cartouche is readable, and the scene includes hieroglyphic-like motifs but no legible full inscription is evident from the image. The plaque’s surface appears polished, consistent with a gemstone or hard-stone object rather than wood or ceramic.
