Painted plaster panel showing an animal figure with reddish-brown body and light blue/white details, set against a pale ground with damaged blue and orange elements.

The image shows a rectangular bench side-panel fragment with a mud-plaster surface and remnants of painted decoration. The central scene is dominated by a reddish-orange animal (likely a calf per the catalogue) with a pale/light blue-white head/neck area and smaller blue markings. Around the animal, there are traces of red/orange and light blue pigment that suggest marsh or vegetation-like forms, though much of the surrounding context is lost due to flaking and breaks. The left side includes vertical edges and partial remaining paint that may have belonged to neighboring figures or plant imagery. No cartouches or clearly legible hieroglyphs are visible, and there is no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. The fragmentary condition makes precise identification of specific deities impossible from the image alone; the work appears to be non-royal and non-inscriptional based on what remains.
