A painted limestone relief fragment depicting waterfowl (bird figures) and surrounding clapnet-like wrappings or lattice form, rendered in profile.

The fragment shows two prominent bird-like waterfowl figures in the foreground, both facing inward toward the center. The left bird has a long neck and beak, rendered with reddish-brown paint, while the right bird is similarly profiled with a pale/whitish beak and reddish-brown body accents. Behind/around them is a large, vertical, reddish-brown clapnet-like element (a netting or folded textile motif), with additional smaller shapes and ground lines indicating the spatial arrangement. Traces of yellowish and dark paint remain on the background field and along edges. No legible hieroglyphic signs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the provided image, and there are no clear depictions of deities beyond the animal imagery. The surface is weathered with chipped corners and flaking paint, consistent with a fragmentary relief.
