A fragment of a limestone relief with hieroglyphs, including a damaged cartouche.
This fragmentary limestone relief features portions of a cartouche and surrounding hieroglyphs. The carving shows intricate detailing typical of royal or significant inscriptions. The surface exhibits some erosion, common in ancient pieces, but enough detail remains to identify elements of a cartouche. Signs of circular motifs are visible, possibly signifying royal insignia. The style suggests it was part of a larger composition, likely from a tomb or temple wall.
