Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
The image shows several small reddish-brown ceramic/terracotta plaques or molds displayed on a wall, each with incised relief designs and projecting suspension points.
On a beige museum wall background, four terracotta objects are mounted or displayed in a row. They are oval/rounded plaques with raised borders and a central recessed area containing incised relief. Each object has a small projecting peg or loop at the top for attachment/suspension. The central motifs are worn but appear to include a central cartouche-like oval/rectangular form and surrounding hieroglyph-like strokes, though details are too unclear to securely identify the specific royal name. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The overall appearance matches the catalogue’s identification as a mold/plaque object, but the Tutankhamun inscription itself is not legible enough to confirm from this image alone.
