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 four views of small cylindrical and rectangular cylinder-seal impressions carved with Egyptian hieroglyphs.
In the photograph, a display shows an object on the left as a short, vertically oriented cylinder (top-down view) with incised hieroglyphs running along its length. To its right are two views of a larger rectangular face (likely the same seal shown as an impression or photographed from a different angle) filled with carved hieroglyphic signs in vertical registers. On the far right, another small, cylindrical piece is shown upright with a band of hieroglyphs. The background is plain and the signs appear engraved rather than painted. No clear figurative deity representations are visible—only hieroglyphic inscription fields. The inscription is legible only in part; specific royal name spellings such as “Amenemhat III” cannot be confidently confirmed from the provided resolution.
