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.
A small reddish terracotta cone/plaque-like object with incised or impressed Egyptian hieroglyphs covering most of its surface.
The image shows a single, rounded terracotta funerary cone/piece photographed against a light background. The object is dark reddish-brown with visible firing texture and surface wear. Its front face is filled with densely arranged hieroglyphic signs in raised or incised relief; the signs are stacked in several horizontal bands. The overall form and the presence of hieroglyphic text are consistent with funerary cone inscriptions, though the exact wording is not fully legible at this resolution. No clear cartouche is visible, and no royal name can be confidently read. A museum label with handwritten/printed characters is visible in the lower portion of the image, but it is not in Egyptian script. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the object itself.
