A carved limestone fragment showing part of a relief with curved cartouche-like ornamentation on one face.

The object is a small, vertically oriented fragment of pale, weathered stone, likely limestone. One broad face preserves low-relief carving with a curved, hook-like element and adjacent incised lines forming what could be part of a royal name/cartouche frame. A raised, rounded border element appears near the lower left of the preserved area; however, the interior signs of any cartouche are largely broken off, and no fully legible hieroglyphic sequence is visible in the image. No clear Aten-specific solar disk rays or fully identifiable divine symbols are present due to breakage and limited visibility. The reverse/other faces are mostly plain and damaged. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
