A fragment of a small, round silver dish bearing incised hieroglyphic text across the interior surface.
The image shows the broken rim and partial interior of a shallow, circular metal vessel. On the exposed interior there is a line of finely incised signs arranged in horizontal registers, consistent with an Egyptian inscription. The breaks are irregular and the surface appears worn, with discoloration and dents along the damaged edge. No clearly identifiable deity figure, cartouche, or specific determinative is distinct at this resolution; only the presence of hieroglyphic signs is evident.
