A turquoise-blue faience pectoral fragment with recessed, carved decorative borders and fragments of iconography and hieroglyphic-like marks on a rectangular plaque.
The image shows a rectangular, turquoise-blue faience piece mounted on a dark support. The upper edge includes a molded band resembling a border or frame, while the central field contains shallow relief lines and areas of darker-blue inlays/contours. In the middle and lower portions, there appear to be small, blocky sign shapes or decorative motifs, but they are too fragmentary to securely read as specific hieroglyphs. No legible royal names or cartouches are visible. The object’s edges and internal design suggest it is part of a larger pectoral or jewelry panel; however, the exact figure(s) or deity attributes are not clear from the remaining fragment. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
