A small rectangular faience tile with two framed registers of hieroglyphs, showing royal iconography and color-inlaid details.

The object is a vertically oriented rectangular tile with rounded corners and a raised border. Its surface is carved in relief and then inlaid with colored pastes. The central design comprises two side-by-side, vertically stacked cartouche-like frames or registers filled with hieroglyphic forms; in each register the background appears as the light/white body of the tile, with inserted color elements (notably red/orange and blue/greenish tones) marking inner details. Within the left and right frames, simplified upright figures and horizontal banding are visible, consistent with royal-name or titulary hieroglyph groups, though the individual signs cannot be read with certainty from the photograph resolution and slight damage/flaking along the edges. No cartouche containing a clearly legible name is fully readable, but the structure and inlaid colored signs align with the catalogue’s identification as a Ramesses III name tile. No separate Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The object appears worn with chips and small losses on corners/edges, especially near the lower border.
