A worn, roughly rectangular/rounded piece of unfired clay with scattered traces of incised linear marks resembling faint hieroglyphic-like lines.

The artifact is photographed against a plain gray background. It appears as a small block or fragment of clay with a generally vertical, rounded-rectangular outline. The surface is heavily abraded and cracked, with visible pitting and color variation (tan to reddish-brown), consistent with an unbaked clay substrate. Across parts of the front face there are faint, thin, dark incised lines forming small segments; however, the marks are too eroded to confidently read as specific hieroglyphs or spellings. No clearly formed figurative elements are visible (e.g., limbs, head, or clear iconographic features), suggesting either a text-based magical figure or an eroded inscription on a clay form. No cartouche or royal titulary is clearly legible. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
