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, roughly rectangular-to-oval baked/clay plaque fragment with an incised/relief face-like or figurative motif and scattered traces of red paint.

The object appears to be an unfired clay piece with a weathered, pitted surface. On the upper half, there is a shallow raised or incised central figure head/face-like form: two rounded elements resembling eyes (or eye sockets) and a short mouth/nose area, all worn and partially abraded. Below the face-like motif, the surface is largely plain with no clearly preserved full-body figure, though there are faint tool marks and possible remnants of additional lines now too eroded to interpret. Several areas show remnants of red pigment, most clearly along the lower right and lower central zone; elsewhere, the clay is monochrome tan-brown. No legible hieroglyphic text, cartouches, or inscriptions can be confidently read at this resolution and condition. No clear Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
